AMANDA RUZZA is a very talented young musician with an international background and versatility as an accomplished bass player. Born in São Paulo, Brazil to an Italian father and a Chilean mother, she was introduced to her family’s different cultures and languages at an early age, and soon became fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and English. Her interest in music also began early on, and at the age of 12, she started playing bass guitar. By age 13, she was already gigging regularly, performing Brazilian jazz, funk, and folkloric music in clubs, concerts and festival venues throughout her country. From 1999 to 2002 she worked with renowned Brazilian producers and arrangers, including Grammy Award-winner Moog Cannazio, Maestro Jobam and Sony Music Japan's Osny Mello.
After performing in Brazil for nine years, AMANDA spent two semesters at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. As the recipient of the highly competitive Latin American World Tour Scholarship, she studied bass performance and contemporary writing and production with Fernando Huergo, Anthony Vitti, Bruce Gertz, and Ron Mahdi, among others. In 2003, AMANDA began touring and recording with the all-girl country band, Mustang Sally, based in Nashville, Tennessee, the Country Music Capital of the World. While in the band, she worked with country music producer Barry Beckett, recorded four albums, and played for US military bases overseas in Japan, South Korea, and within the US. Currently, AMANDA is studying at the New School University in New York City, while performing locally.
