As the rising voice of America’s most ethnically diverse generation of young people, 26-year-old Amanda Pascali writes songs that speak to the experience of growing up as a first-generation American. In 2023, her popularity exploded on social media following several viral videos of her song translations. Amanda’s music, now coined, Immigrant American Folk delivers a powerful narrative on being, “too foreign for here, too foreign for home, and never enough for both.” Internationally acclaimed, bilingual singer/songwriter, Fulbright fellow, and 2021 Houston Chronicle Musician of the Year, she has released music and performed internationally from the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, DC to the European Union Parliament in Brussels and across the globe.
