I started writing songs since i was like, let's see...12, and I'm 26 now. What I used to be doing in my room was dancing around to the songs on the radio...heavily influenced by rock and roll music, doing the "air-guitar" thingie until my mom caught me and soon we were off to Yamaha to buy my first acoustic nylon guitar! It's still alive, that guitar. It has such a sentimental value.
I now have my own band and we are called The Amandas. We are currently working on our first album and hopefully we will finish it within the year.

Why this name?
my band's name, The Amandas, was derived from my own name.
Do you play live?
as a solo performer, i played live on occassions called for. Like on gigs my friends play at and they need someone from the audience to play something. other times it's for my family, relatives etc. Special moment? when i played live for the 1st time with 2 of my girl friends during a high school intermission! that was memorable!
Now our band plays a lot at 6 Underground, a bar and resto in Makati, Philippines that shows a lot of rock and roll bands.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
well, it helps people get their hands on the music they REALLY wanna hear. blahblahblah on the piracy thing but it is such a powerful medium that i'm sure later on everything will be provided through the net. no more money transaction by hand...(and more blahblahblah)
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Already have with a newcomer recording label.
Band History:
The Amandas was born around December of 2005 when I helped out a friend write lyrics to one of his original compositions. His producer friend heard it and we met up shortly after that and boom! The root formation of our band begun and started to record 2 originals.
There has been some changes with our band members throughout 2006 and we have been blessed to work with very talented musicians.
