About amandakaletsky


"Amanda Kaletsky has the voice of a pop star, but the soul of a singer/songwriter. Her infectious [music] finds a middle ground between New York's homey downtown clubs and the polish of Top 40 radio." - Relix Magazine

Jumping from guitar to piano and back, Amanda delivers songs that are tastefully built around passion and melody. Nurtured by influences such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King, her introspective music ranges from sultry blues inspired love songs to power-driven pop hits, all carried by her emotional vocal performances.

Her song “Everything Lies” off of her second EP, “Between You & Me” was featured on season 3 of MTV’s “The Hills.” Along with her first EP, “Wait”, Amanda has sold over 2,000 copies and is in radio rotation from the Northeast to Hawaii. Amanda was also recently chosen by Coldplay to open for them in her home state of Connecticut.

Surrounded by a love of music at an early age, Amanda trained as a classical violinist from the age of four. At the age of 13, she broadened her focus by learning guitar and piano, and began developing her vocal skills with the nationally recognized Elm City Girls Choir. Armed with years of classical training and non-classical influences, Amanda eventually found a personal balance in singing/songwriting.

Amanda is currently working on a third, full-length release with producer Ido Zmishlany, while continuing to perform at a variety of venues in the Northeast. She also sings the National Anthem regularly for the New York Islanders and at other professional sporting events.

Press

Review: XL Center, Hartford CT op. for Coldplay

The night featured two opening acts, hip-hop, electronica soul collective Santogold and radio station contest winner Amanda Kaletsky. The latter was especially well received by the crowd during a five-song outing sparked by her finale "Please Forgive Me."

Amanda opens for Coldplay

'In the hour I spend in Production today, a constant stream of crew saying, "Have you seen the opening act? She's amazing". Now all of the local opening acts have been good, but it's unusual to get such unanimous glowing praise from roadies. I understand her name was Amanda Kaletsky. Given that roadies are notoriously tough to impress, I guess I'd better check her out. Maybe you should too...'

Ourstage Music Picks

Amanda Kaletsky has the voice of a pop star, but the soul of Norah Jones-approved singer/songwriter. Her infectious number "Never Enough" finds a middle ground between New York's homey downtown clubs and the polish of Top 40 radio.


"[Amanda] brings her unique sound to Chaplin's"

"..while her music may be in the same vein as female singer/songwriters like Fiona Apple, Sarah McLachlan, or Sheryl Crow, she possesses a voice and a sound that is entirely her own." - Craig Ostroff

from "Battle of the Century..."

"Amanda Kaletsky seems to have both nurtured an abundance of skill and talent (thanks Mom and Dad) while also remaining – in this day and age – remarkably free of the restraints and limitations that seem to bind so many performers of her generation or her gender... this is something different, a patch of hope in a sea of despair. She is young. She is able. She is cutting her teeth. She aspires to "cathartic" experiences and communicating with her audience. She bypassed CBGB's and is scheduled to play The Bitter End. She is headlining at the Millennium Music Conference... She is actually talented. This time, the entertainment is more than just promotion, this time it's for real. Amanda Kaletsky is irreplaceable." - Margaret Fala
