STRIKE A MATCH

by Amanda Jayne

 

Project Description

A story with original music, Strike a Match is the performance of Amanda Jayne’s upcoming album. Each song allows the audience to progress through the narrator’s turbulent relationship with her love interest. Amanda’s acoustic band sets the atmosphere to connect with her lyrics and understand what it means to have loved and lost.

Artist Statement

As a songwriter, I draw inspiration from the world I live in to create art. People, places, and ideas have manifested themselves as music and lyrics. But, it is emotion, rather than perception, that has had the strongest impact on my songwriting; I feel most passionately about the internal experiences I’ve had. As an artist, I want people to be able to feel the personal connection I have with my music and apply it to their own lives. I want to be relatable. I want to capture what it means to experience life from my heart and project it to the world using music as a platform.
