From the age of six, Amanda Leigh Moore knew she was
going to be a star. Now, at the tender age of 15, this
high school honor student is poised to become a great
stage performer with her exceptional artistic ability
and experience in the music business.
Mandy was born on April 10th 1984 in Nashua, New Hampshire.
However, her family soon moved to Orlando, Florida where
she currently resides. Moore started singing and acting
when she attended a summer musical theater camp at the
age of nine. She also spent seven years performing as
a cheerleader for Pop Warner football. Her interest
in showbusiness drove her to take voice lessons and
audition for plays at local theaters. With her parents'
support, she eventually went on to co-star in a dozen
plays.
Her route to fame started when she was named the "National
Anthem Girl" because she sang The Star-Spangled
Banner for all major sports teams and for Chris Evert's
Pro-Celebrity Tennis Tournament. She quickly became
involved in national commercials, TV pilots and voice-overs,
including the voice of "Ducky" for the Universal
Studios California Land Before Time attraction.
She also entered the fashion world appearing as a model
in a Mexican teen magazine. All this national exposure
worried Mandy; she was afraid that her friends would
be jealous and talk behind her back. But the opposite
happened and she received their full support and still
talks to them on a daily basis.
During the recording of a theme song for a TV pilot,
she received an offer to complete a full demo by a producer
who took notice of here. A talent scout came in when
she was recording and sent an unfurnished demo to David
McPherson, Senior Vice President of Urban A&R for
Epic Records/550. McPherson liked what he heard and
immediately flew down to hear the young star sing. After
receiving a couple of other offers, the bright young
star decided to sign a deal with Sony Music.
Moore is learning to play the guitar and eventually
wants to write her own music. The young singer has already
seen more of the business than most grown-ups, but it
is merely the start of a promising career.
