After going viral on social media

Amanda Pascali amassed hundreds of thousands of followers online. Now, her long-awaited new record, Roses and Basil (a collection of Sicilian-English translations and original music produced by Robert Ellis,) is slated for release in 2025. As the rising voice of America's most ethnically diverse generation of young people, 26-year-old Amanda Pascali writes songs that speak to the experience of growing up as a first-generation American. Blending folk/Americana influences with Mediterranean, Balkan, and Latin rhythms Pascali’s songs are powerful tales of America told through the eyes of immigrants and those who have always felt like the “other”.
