Music Nation is a Music Video Competition for Independent Artists

I am Amber-Rose, a 22 year old BMI affiliated singer/songwriter/guitar player from Los Angeles, CA who performs original pop infused alternative rock. I started playing out on the Los Angeles music scene at 15, when I played The 1st Annual Accept & Respect Festival in Los Angeles. By age 16, I was playing on the Sunset Strip and in various Los Angeles clubs such as The Rainbow, The Cat Club, 14 Below, The UnUrban, and The Masquer's Cabaret as a solo acoustic artist. I wrote "Don't Let Me Go" later that year (2003) with Reana Gallardo. The song was released almost a year later, when I had just turned 17. A very spare recording I did of just guitar and vocals went to #1 on the Soundclick (www.soundclick.com) Acoustic Vocals Charts after only 7 days online, and the song remained there for 5 months straight. Several press articles followed ... Two by Joe Barracato (New York Post, The Industry Resource), and The Tolucan Times locally. I gained a lot of international fans from more than 65 countries through SoundClick. By May 2006, I was asked to include 4 of my song ringtones on John Doffing's Start Mobile Network, and I performed at the launch after party at Club Otis, in San Francisco. A month later, I formed The Amber Rose Band, and I moved on to larger venues at The Roxy, The Key Club on the Sunset Strip, and at The Tangier on Los Feliz. As a band, we made it to the Semi-Finals in the 1st Bodog Battle of the Bands (Fuse TV) and were the last female fronted band in Los Angeles still in the competition. I held my own against 19 of L.A.'s most talented male fronted bands. I also played at the Sound Aid Concert in Salem, Oregon in July 2007, for the CD Release which includes my #1 Soundclick song, "Don't Let Me Go". My old band has since gone it's own separate ways, and I am solo again, and I am currently recording my so far "untitled" solo debut album with producer Brian Irwin (Ty Stone, Just Off Turner, Astra Heights). Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you like my music! Much Love!!! ~Amber-Rose~
