The Wake Up Mission Radio Show Welcomes Amanda Vernon

Amanda Vernon is a full-time recording artist from the United States. Through a genre she calls, “soulful pop,” this singer, pianist, and composer speaks to authentic beauty through music, the language of the soul. 

In 2013, Amanda ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund her 5th studio album, "Interior Gaze." She embarked on a 10-month tour with her young family to promote the project, with venues ranging from restaurant-bars and house shows, to churches and conference centers.

During the course of her tour, the song "Cleaning and Scrubbing" from the new album won the pop/electronic genre in the international competition "ArtPrize;" she also recorded a live CD entitled, “Acoustic Collection,” available as a live-event exclusive. 

At age 27, Amanda has over a decade of experience in both studio recording and live performance. She has shared her original music across the U.S. and in six foreign countries, including the 2008 and 2011 World Youth Days in Sydney, Australia and Madrid, Spain. 

Other notable performances include the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes (Lourdes, France; 2008), three consecutive appearances at the bi-annual National Catholic Youth Conference, and singing the National Anthem at Lambeau Field for the Green Bay Packers (2014).

Originally from the Midwest, Amanda resides in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and their three children, ages 4 and under.
