amber and little criminals

Amber Lee has honed her musical style in a way that can only be described as grass roots guerrilla warfare - by listening and watching other musicians and by working through deep personal experiences. Though she enjoyed singing as a child, the Ontario native never struck out to be a professional musician. It wasn't until the summer after her 19th birthday that she began playing the guitar and penning songs to accompany. She was hooked and quickly thereafter she worked her way out of the living rooms of friends and onto the stage of various venues across canada and new york city, as she eventually accepted her calling. Despite a fairly accidental and atypical start, music has been a constant thread in her life that has always pointed back towards shaping who she is as a person, a songwriter and an entertainer. Her songs weave the stories, experiences and seasoning of a poet and an explorer: loving, effusive and courageous. They are relatable, yet intensely personal. She croons with the juxtaposition of rhythmic strength and soft spoken lyrics always accented by undertones of something gentle and true. Her original chord progressions and emotive guitar styling’s illuminate her thoughtful and indelible lyrics. And still, it's Amber’s easygoing personality, genuine enthusiasm, irrevocable humor, and ever-approachable nature that lends absolute comfort to the audiences she plays for.
