IT'S MARDI GRAS TIME VIDEO
WRITTEN BY AMBER LEE DUKE WHEN I WAS WITH VINCE VANCE AND THE VALIANTS.
Amber Lee Duke was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and reared just outside of Wichita Falls, Texas, in the little country town of Holliday. The youngest of 4 children of traveling Christian ministers, gospel music was an important part of her life. Amber feels her musical talent comes from her father who is an accomplished pianist and drummer of 50 years.
Moving to Oklahoma for high school Amber worked as a professional choreographer for competitive gymnasts, cheerleading squads and private dance groups. Her cheerleading squad earned the winning title for the AAA varsity division at the National Cheerleaders Association competition (NCA). Active in sports, Amber excelled in track and field and won the Bronze medal in High Jump at the Oklahoma State Track Meet. Soon after graduating she was hired to choreograph two junior Olympic gymnasts with Chris Burdette at the 96 Olympic coach Mary Lee Tracys training facility.
From 1997 to 1999, Amber started singing and dancing seriously with Pastor Alvin Fruga and Fresh Oil, a contemporary Gospel Group out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. After working with the group for over 3 years she decided to further her education in Florida where she did independent study in modern dance.
Upon hearing of an opportunity back in Texas, she moved to Dallas where she auditioned for the nationally renowned show band, Vince Vance and the Valiants. From 2002 to 2007 she was the lead Valiantette (female singer) and choreographer. On the album "All I Want for Christmas is You" she graced its album cover as well as performed and shot the video for the country song "When I Close My Eyes" composed by the same writers. Right before Hurricane Katrina She along with the rest of the band was inducted into the "Louisiana Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame".
She has been featured on 4 albums and is now working on her debut solo album which includes her debut song she wrote called, "Its Mardi Gras Time" and "Stay With Me Tonight". She will be releasing it along with the video which was shot on world famous Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
Along with dancing, choreography and singing she has recently dabbled her talents into acting and modeling. In her first 6 months of acting she was a feature talent on The Madames Family (CBS movie of the Week). Shortly after, she landed a speaking role in Warner Bros. The Dukes of Hazzard. She is in the opening credits for the Kevin Costner and Demi Moore Movie, Mr. Brooks.
You can also see her in Martin Lawrence's "Welcome Home Rosco Jenkins" as Raquel and a short appearance in "Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay"!
Amber now lives in SAN DIEGO, Ca. with Husband Justin Cannatella to begin a whole new chapter of her life in the entertainment industry.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
Christian
