Amanda Baker Wins Best Music Video Award in Italy
Italian win sets the stage for Music Oz awards in Australia
Florence, Italy, November 22, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Powerful soul/blues vocalist and songwriter, Amanda Baker, has just returned from the October 2007 Digifestival in Florence, Italy, where she won the Best Music Video Award for her “Addictions” music video directed by her brother, award-winning cinematographer, Denson Baker ACS.
Digifestival Jury Member, Roli Mosimann said, “Amanda Baker impressed me most with her abilities and rare talent of transporting the emotional content
of her music straight to the heart, without filters or distractions. She is not just singing a great song about a difficult subject, she is telling a story and lets
you feel and participate in what it all means to her in a way only great musicians can do. Beware! A truly addictive voice.”
Baker has also been nominated as a finalist in two categories of the 22 November 2007 Music Oz Awards: “Best Music Video” and “Best Live Act”.
She was also a finalist at last year’s Music Oz Awards in Blues and World Music.
In addition to the music nominations, Baker’s album cover and t-shirts, also photographed and designed by Denson Baker, are finalists in the annual Independent Music Awards (IMA USA) for Best Album Artwork and Best Swag (Merchandise).
Baker has recently picked up a six-month Management contract with E-Global Promotions “Promote My Song”, a new management company in Miami USA, and is being flown to the USA in December to record with some of the world’s best producers.
Independent singer/songwriter Amanda Baker has been described as a “diva” due to her soulful vocal style and command of the stage. Her trademark phrase “I’m not here to be a princess, I’m here to be the Queen” taken from her new single “The Queen”, is the slogan on her award-winning T-shirts.
Amanda’s debut album, “Superstitious Woman”, released in 2007, features a range of strong blues, soul and gospel style songs written straight from her heart which tell stories about issues important to her like world violence, self-identity, drug addiction, love of music and life.
Earlier this year, Baker was selected as the spokesperson for Worldview, an international child poverty coalition. Videos, photos and links to the Amanda Baker website can all be found on www.worldview.ca
