Biography |
From the age of six, Amanda Leigh Moore knew she was going
to be a star. Now, at the tender age of 15, this high school
honor student is poised to become a great stage performer
with her exceptional artistic ability and experience in the
music business.
Mandy was born on April 10th 1984 in Nashua, New Hampshire.
However, her family soon moved to Orlando, Florida where she
currently resides. Moore started singing and acting when she
attended a summer musical theater camp at the age of nine.
She also spent seven years performing as a cheerleader for
Pop Warner football. Her interest in showbusiness drove her
to take voice lessons and audition for plays at local
theaters. With her parents' support, she eventually went on
to co-star in a dozen plays.
Her route to fame started when she was named the "National
Anthem Girl" because she sang The Star-Spangled Banner for
all major sports teams and for Chris Evert's Pro-Celebrity
Tennis Tournament. She quickly became involved in national
commercials, TV pilots and voice-overs, including the voice
of "Ducky" for the Universal Studios California Land Before
Time attraction.
She also entered the fashion world appearing as a model in a
Mexican teen magazine. All this national exposure worried
Mandy; she was afraid that her friends would be jealous and
talk behind her back. But the opposite happened and she
received their full support and still talks to them on a
daily basis.
During the recording of a theme song for a TV pilot, she
received an offer to complete a full demo by a producer who
took notice of here. A talent scout came in when she was
recording and sent an unfurnished demo to David McPherson,
Senior Vice President of Urban A&R for Epic Records/550.
McPherson liked what he heard and immediately flew down to
hear the young star sing. After receiving a couple of other
offers, the bright young star decided to sign a deal with
Sony Music.
Moore is learning to play the guitar and eventually wants to
write her own music. The young singer has already seen more
of the business than most grown-ups, but it is merely the
start of a promising career. |
