Besides creating and playing music, she teaches yoga. She is an experienced Yoga Teacher E-RYT500 YACEP, Acutonics Practitioner and Painter, with a Law Degree from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University.

AMANDALA is deeply inspired by geometry, sound, music and artistry in all things.

Her music embodies a watery quality. 

Just as water does not have a form, but it takes the form of its container so my music does not sit in one specific genre but rather capture a fluid mood which is different from song to song and album to album.

AMANDALA writes lyrics that embraces themes of racial and social equality, observation, encouragement, universal experiences of regret and renewal.

Her music is deeply artistic and colorful.

This all blends well with AMANDALA’S uniquely expressive voice.

AMANDALA’s music is art that can be experienced as something that stirs at the intuition, heart and intellect. 

Her songwriting is deeply emotional as is she.
