BIOGRAPHY Who’s the singer of Paramount’s “The 4400” theme song you ask? Born in Beirut, Lebanon, AMANDA JO ABIZAID moved to The United States when she was nine years old. She learned how to harmonize as a child by singing a wide range of music with her four older sisters. For many years, Amanda studied piano and flute with private teachers. She continued to perfect her talents at The Catholic University of America, studying drama and music. Performing solo or with her band, Amanda’s music is yummy to the ear. Her compositions include flute and violin parts that add an Arabian flavor to her sultry vocals and haunting melodies. Her debut EP Album “The Great Plan Vol. I”, was independently released in 2004 and is sold internationally, along with her first single “Lebanon”, a song about the political freedom currently emerging in her native country. In addition to “The 4400” theme song, (A Place In Time), Amanda sang for Ally Sheady and Charisma Carpenter on VH1’s "STRANGE FREQUENCY", and for WB’s "CHARMED", “SMALLVILLE, and many more. Her film vocal and songwriting credits include, “3 BELOW” and "FACING THE LION", the latter in which she also appeared. What’s new for 2006? She just released her first full CD called "The Great Plan Vol. II" and is preparing a tour schedule to coincide with her first starring role in the sci-fi feature film "VEX"; set to be released in 2007. Having experienced Hurricane Andrew herself, Amanda will be performing for The Humane Society for the Animals of Hurricane Katrina in Santa Monica, California on March 26th.
