Amanda K found the call of music whilst working in Antarctica for a year. She was employed as a carpenter on the Australian base, Mawson and spent the year with just 20 expeditioners. During the long and lonely year of isolation Amanda learnt the basics of the guitar and composed her first song, ‘Mawson In Antarctica’, on the return voyage of the ice breaker the Aurora Australis. Amanda Kay is a talented composer. She is performing throughout Australia (from Cairns to Kalgoorlie, from Kununurra to Cooma) and has played in far flung places including Antarctica, New Zealand and Southern Africa. She is receiving wide spread recognition, especially for her slightly controversial lyric content. She has been getting airplay on radio and live performances have been aired in Melbourne on Russ Kellets Community TV program, Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney and Canberra to a delightful response from audiences and presenters. Songs like “I Want To Share My Orgasms With You’ always get a reaction. Her insight and relationship with music crosses contemporary Music boundaries, unearthing unique melodies and unexpected resolutions. Her vitality on stage creates an energetic and enthusiastic audience. In her first album she has the flavours of a young and emotional voice. It is unique, original and compelling. She received high praise for this release and her audiences fall silent at the striking of the first chord. Please enjoy Amanda Kay
