About amandakaletsky

Amanda Kaletsky

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.

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 Ritchie Rubini, 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.

EXCITING NEWS!! Amanda's song 'Everything Lies' has been featured in an episode of MTV's The Hills! To view the episode, check out Amanda's latest blog on her myspace page view the video here, and be sure to vote for 'Everything Lies' in the Indie/Alternative Channel this month!

Amanda on the 11 o'clock news

Hey everyone,

On Sunday, May 4th, I held a benefit concert at my old high school for a local Habitat for Humanity group called Amity Cares. We raised a ton of money for our third build in New Haven, and even got the top story on both the 6 o’clock and 11 o’clock news! Here’s the video. Let me know what you think!
