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 June 2025. As the rising voice of America's most ethnically diverse generation of young people, 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”.
