CALL ME FROM THE GRAVE Will Be Presented in Concert-Reading (Jan 30, 2023)
BIO
Classically trained in music and theater at Fordham College, Lincoln Center in New York City, she began her performance career singing in Manhattan jazz clubs like Birdland and Dizzy's at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Soon after, she was cast in the national tour of one of her favorite musicals, Jesus Christ Superstar. Since then, her musical career has taken her to 49 of the 50 states (Vermont!), the Caribbean with Disney Cruise Lines, and as far as South Korea, where she performed in the world premiere of Sunfish at the Daegu International Opera House. Her experience spans opera, jazz, musical theater and pop, to say nothing of her not-so-secret love for R&B.
In 2014, Amber began touring with the It Gets Better musical, a project of the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles, which gave her the distinction of being the first female member in its 42 year history. This was a unique opportunity for her to truly live out her passions for music, travel and community activism. She recently premiered her solo cabaret, You Can't Act A Color at Rockwell Table & Stage in Los Angeles. Currently, Amber splits her time between New York & LA, where she actively collaborates with artists & bands for live performances and in studio.

On March 24 in Ferguson Hall at the Straz, by the talents of The Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles (GMCLA), in collaboration with the It Gets Better Project and Speak Theater Art, through it gets better I experienced the heartbreak of it all. I was taken on an emotional rollercoaster of anguish and sorrow contrasted by love and laughter, and the thread that ran through every dialogue, every song that it, indeed, gets better if you have hope.
