Just a few little tunes cooked up in the last couple of years. No, not a devil worshiper. 666 is my address. Really...

A MILLION MILES AWAY is a band of four seasoned, dedicated artists whose passion for creating beautiful music is a rarity nowadays and something truly special in this saturated world of technology. 

Their sound haunts back to the 80's dark-wave era, when the underground culture celebrated raw talent—when technology was a flavor and not the soul structure in songwriting, art and performances. Their signature style is of the post-punk era, masterfully combined with strong poetic lyrics that dwell in the human condition. 

AMMA uses its collaborative minds equally to embrace creativity for an infectious, memorable experience—both sight and sound.

Welcome to the thoughts that occupy my mind, and the rhythms that peruse my body. Although I grew up listening to Destiny’s Child, Monica, Brandy, and Aaliyah when I was a young girl, coming of age, Motown, Alexander O’Neal, and early 80s/90s R&B stole my heart. I loved to sing since elementary school age, and I’ve reconnected with poetry writing in 2010. Summer nights of 2016 led me to begin experimenting with song creation on Garage Band, and that alone transformed my being. I became a producer, not only a consumer. Music has always been my first love. From Making the Band to 106&Park, I’ve always been glued to the radio, headset, or tv—intertwining with the melodies, ballads, and rhymes greeting me from different places and faces. Music took good care of me. It even let me loose, into the wild. It took me for a ride... an experience of freedom unparalleled, still.

Sets I love,
Tracks I like,
From me to you,
and everyone alike.

An avid music lover all my life, I began to start collecting tracks for play and pleasure in about 2006. Influenced by everything from bootyshaking sets to deep dark melodic scratch your brain journeys from SF/OAK and other West Coast DJs and a handful of venues I would go to, I decided it was time to start crafting some of my own sets that make people FEEL.

It's the music’s ability to break down barriers, social and otherwise, that continues to drive me to try new things. Wanting to help do this very thing led me on a search for my own equipment. Scoring a basic mixing setup from a local pawn shop, I've been collecting as much music to play with as I can. It's time for me to contribute to breaking barriers and walls that other DJs had, even unknowingly, helped me to overcome. So let go, enjoy the ride and relax with me :)
