Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Amber started playing music when she was 4 and writing songs when she was 12.

About
Having worked for mainstream Hollywood songwriter, Diane Warren (“Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”, sung by Aerosmith and “Because You Loved Me” sung by Celine Dion) at Hollywood music publishing company, RealSongs, Amber was inspired by her experience working for the Pop Hit maker and sites her as a huge inspiration. Amber frequently collaborates with other artists, including her mother, singer-songwriter, Diana Wallis, as well as other local songwriters.
In addition to Bay Area venues, fairs and festivals, Amber has also been featured on television and radio.
LIVE TELEVISION – Featured on KRON’s “Best of the Bay”, on weekly award winning television segment “Artist Spotlight with Amber Estrada" (Napa Valley television Channel 28 - "Another Late Night Show Early") & “The Arty Party Show” .
Amber's players:
Aaron Snider, lead guitarist, is a Napa Valley native with a unique style that fuses together rock, blues and Latin guitar.
Dave Youdell, bass player, also from the Napa Valley with styles varying from reggae to blues to country (Aaron and Dave have played together since they were small boys in their parents garages).
Ram Hatley, on drums and percussion. Ram Hatley holds a B.A. in Jazz Performance from
"Super talented. Catch her while you can before a ticket to her show is 50 bucks." -Rich Freedman, Vallejo Times-Herald
Based on this six-tune disc, Estrada's style is blues-based pop with rock edges ("Don't Tell My Heart" and "Sorry For Nothing") that sometimes echoes the work of Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, and perhaps Melissa Etheridge. Meanwhile, the smoky, late-night "Chaotic Sanctity" suggests it's a song that Norah Jones could take a crack at. Estrada's own voice is an appealing instrument. -Music Connection Magazine - CD Review - Vol. XXIX - 1/31/05-2/13/05
We hear tastes of a New York musical village…and Merchant . The music breathes and band grooves…. A dichotomy exists in Estrada….cross-over country appeal…has storyteller appeal …Her intimate treatment reveals a vocal maturity. The final track, "Chaotic Sanctity", is a gem. The kitty strut ambiance with smoky jazz band movement supports Amber's nonchalant Rickie Lee Jones' approach to loose and spontaneous performance. Well done and we look forward to more.
