Amanda Ly is an Artificial Intelligence Architect living in Berlin, Germany. Ever since picking up piano and guitar at 16, she has been channeling her emotions and energy into writing honest, emotional songs in hopes of reaching others with her words and melodies. Her music is alternative pop with inspiration from Lorde, Alice Merton, James Bay, Passenger and Julia Michaels.  In 2015, Amanda spent two years in Nashville pursuing a career as a full time singer songwriter. But she defies the rules of the industry: instead of shooting for radio-friendly, her music seeks to change the world through lyrics of positive inspiration and social commentary. Her mission is to inspire and change the hearts of the world, one song at a time. Among the topics addressed in her songs are allowing passion and joy to lead one’s life despite adversity (“Set the World on Fire”) and the surprise of falling in love with someone unexpected (“Trashed My List”). Amanda draws from her life experiences and those of others to promote important messages. She is currently recording a new album to bring awareness and understanding to the stories of sexual assault victims.  www.soundcloud.com/AmandaLyMusic
