CHECK OUT THE VIDEO “SUPA WOMAN” THE FIRST SINGLE FROM “LIFE EXPERIENCE!” Directed by: LynDon McCray AVAIL HERE & ON ITUNES NOW!
Amanda Diva isn’t crazy. She’s just not like anybody else you’ve ever met. And her work follows suit.
Straight to the point lyrics with a comedic edge, sang in her raspy from the gut voice over big production combining live instrumentation with an alternative kick, she defies genre, and expectations of what a popular female artist is “supposed” to be. She’s spunky, she’s sharp, and she’s got jokes for days. Her live show is like a venerable stand up routine coupled with soul moving music that is undeniably innovative, spontaneous, just plain awesome.
But music wasn’t always the goal. Starting off as a young actress on Nickelodeon sitcom, “My Brother and Me” Diva is no stranger to the madness that is showbiz. Moving to New York in 1999 she was exposed to the hip-hop culture in a completely new way than that of her hometown Orlando, FL and she was hooked. Soon she was writing and performing on the spoken word poetry scene before being chosen to appear on Russell Simmon’s Def Poetry Jam (’02 & ’05). While performing at a political fundraiser she was discovered by a Program Director at Sirius Satellite Radio and was quickly hired as a radio personality right out of college where she continued to thrive from ’03-’08 with her morning show “Breakfast at Diva’s.” During that time she also obtained a Master’s in African American studies from the prestigious Columbia University and served as the face of hip-hop on MTV2 interviewing close to every relevant hip-hop/R&B artist of the last 10 yrs including Jay-Z, Nas, Mariah Carey, Pharell, and even acting heavyweights like Tom Cruise and Jamie Fox. Her love affair with the small screen continues to grow as currently she serves as comedy commentator and music expert on VH1, writer & creator of “Diva Speak TV” a weekly humor based news/sketch comedy show featured on the extremely popular ThisIs50.com & “Diva Diva Ya’ll” an interview based lifestyle show rooted in showing audiences another side of their favorite artists/personalities and exposing them to some and cultures that they should know featured on heavily trafficked Karmalooptv.com.
All of that experience, bull sh**, etcetera has come to influence Amanda Diva the recording artist and is at the crux of what sets her a part from everyone else. Her latest release, a FreEp titled, “Spandex, Rhymes & Soul” epitomizes that growth combining hip-hop, soul, alternative, and a touch of electronica with sustained melodies and poignant lyrics on life and love that speak universally to human nature.
Originally, some questioned Miss Diva, writing her off as another personality looking to use her connections to parle.. a stream of income from the music realm but as Deev would say, “No Dice.” Understand. A. Diva is the real deal and her peers have come to embrace her as such. Recently featured on Q-tip’s “ManWoman Boogie” on his album “The Renaissance,” she also replaced Natalie Stewart in the Grammy award winning R&B group, Floetry in ‘07, and has worked with notable artisans Questlove, James Poyser, Green Lantern, Estelle, The Cool Kids, and more.
There is an abundance of artists on the planet, writing, singing, producing, etc. But there are only elite few that stand out. She’s known to rock a lot of neon colors but that is not what sets Amanda Diva a part from the crowd. Her uniqueness lies in her uncanny ability to always be herself but ardently feel the emotions of others and articulate them vividly and honestly through music that excites, ignites, and tears the roof off of any venue she sets foot in.
