Artist Bio

For Amanda Torp, it’s always been about singing. From the time she was five years old, she was singing in the small church she attended in her hometown of Garden Prairie, IL. As she grew up, her passion for music continued to grow too… she sang anywhere and everywhere she could, even being invited to sing at a historic church in Madrid while just a teenager.

Amanda was born and raised in the country on her family’s dairy goat farm. Although her musical influences span various genres including rock and pop, she is a country girl through and through. She’s a young artist, but has already developed a unique sound and stage presence all her own by performing every chance she gets. Some of her favorite moments include opening for The Charlie Daniel’s Band at Illinois’ largest musical festival, On The Waterfront, and performing at the Colgate Country Showdown in Chicago, where she placed as a top finalist.

Her hometown press has taken note of Amanda. She was featured as “One of the Most Influential Young Women” in Rockford Women’s Magazine, was written up in the local newspaper, the Rockford Register Star, and The Advertiser News featured her in an article entitled, “Storming the Music Industry.” She’s been noticed by radio and television as well, making appearances on Q98.5 and local news stations.

Her ambition and desire to forge a career as a country music artist led Amanda to Nashville, TN. She studied music at Belmont University earning her degree in Songwriting. Her hard work has begun paying off. Since graduating, Amanda has had the opportunity to work with some of Nashville’s most prolific songwriters.

The musical path that Amanda Torp has been on since she was just a youngster singing in her small country church has taken her around the world and back and has rooted her firmly in Nashville. And, for this young artist, this is just the beginning…
