Amber Rose Kelly was
born on October 23,1986 in Hollywood, CA.
Formerly, an award nominated child actress, Amber
Rose wrote her
first song at age 11. At 13, she recieved an acoustic
guitar from her
grandfather for Christmas, which she taught herself
how to play.
By age 15, she'd already written 7 songs, before
she'd even learned a cover tune.
So, she made up a 5 song home made demo called,
Sorrows and Tears,
which is a moody, jazzy tune, sung by the young
15 year old.
She printed several hundreds of CD’s, which
disappeared as quickly as they were burned.
Amber Rose started playing out as a solo acoustic
artist at age 16,
when recording artist, Jaime Paxton, booked her
to play at The Rainbow Room
on the Sunset Strip. Known for her angst ridden
lyrics, strong alto,
and her slamming acoustic guitar delivery,
she took her song, Don't Let Me Go, to #1 on the
Soundclick.com
Acoustic Vocals Charts after only 7 days online,
and it remained there for 5 months straight.
Amber Rose took a brief sabbatical from music at
age 18,
and then began playing out as a solo artist, again,
this past April 2006,
when Ian booked her at The Cat Club on the Sunset
Strip.
She followed this up by playing at The Rockstars
Show After-Party
at the swanky private club, Otis in San Francisco
in May,
at the Start Mobile Launch to promote her
4 song ringtones chosen for the new service, which
included
Sorrows and Tears, Don't Let Me Go, Now I Know,
and Pushing Me Away.
In June, she qualified after being voted as one
of LA's Top Bands
to compete for a $1,000,000 Recording Contract in
the
Bodog Battle of the Bands...
Her new band debuted at The Roxy on August 30th
to a packed house. Though eliminated in the WildCard
Voting phase,
Bodog invited her band back for the Semi-Finals
at The Key Club
on November 22, 2006 when another band dropped out.
She was the only female fronted band left in L.A.,
and held her own against 19 of Los Angeles's Best
MALE fronted Bands!
She may not have won Bodog, but she won the respect
of her competitors,
and she is sure to win yours, too!
Other shows this past year have included, The Masquer's
Cabaret in July,
The Cat Club in October,
and the band's final show this year on December
8th for the
Junkiri School in Nepal, Katmandu!
There is a buzz around town about this young artist
...
Come and see what the fuss is all about!
Watch for upcoming show dates, and great things
from Amber Rose in 2007!
Amber Rose's new recording of her song "Powerless"
