"Before meeting Amanda, songwriting felt like an impossible task. I would get halfway through a song and abandon it because I didn’t know how to finish it or make it feel complete. Amanda helped me see songwriting as a process, and she taught me how to break it down step by step.
She has a way of making you feel at ease while also challenging you to dig deeper and push past creative blocks. Now, not only do I finish my songs, but I feel proud of the stories I’m telling through my music. Amanda’s mentorship has been a game-changer for me."

"Before working with Amanda, I had countless unfinished songs and no clear plan for how to get them out into the world. Amanda helped me take my ideas and turn them into polished tracks, ready for release. She not only guided me through the technical side of things but also helped me find my authentic sound. Thanks to her, I’m now getting ready to release my first single on Spotify and Apple Music and preparing for my first live performance. Amanda’s insight and encouragement made me believe in myself and my music in ways I didn’t think were possible."
