Internationally acclaimed, multilingual singer/songwriter Amanda Pascali was born in Queens, New York, and is based in Houston, Texas. As the daughter of an Eastern European refugee with Sicilian heritage, Amanda has released music and performed internationally, from the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. to packed houses in Italy, Romania, and across the Eastern hemisphere. With a father who was thrown out of his home country for rebelling against the government, Amanda was driven from a young age to be a messenger of her family’s stories and diaspora. As the rising voice of America's most ethnically diverse generation of young people, 23-year-old Pascali writes songs that speak to the experience of her family and millions of other immigrants. Amanda’s music, now coined, Immigrant American Folk delivers a powerful narrative on being- “too foreign for here, too foreign for home, and never enough for both.”
