Amber grew up outside Seattle amidst the coffee and music of the Pacific Northwest. She draws inspiration from the philosophy she reads and the people she loves, and the result is a soulful, spirit-shuddering swadding of sound that envelops listeners and tugs their shirtsleeves gently to follow along into Amber's world. Amber began performing as a young child, grabbing the microphone from her father during in-house concerts for family friends and later teaching herself guitar and piano.
