| CHECK OUT THE NEW VIDEO!!! "WINDOWS OVER HARLEM" Directed By: LynDon McCray Check out the Newest Episode of DivaSpeak TV! CHECK OUT THE VIDEO “SUPA WOMAN” THE FIRST SINGLE FROM “LIFE EXPERIENCE!” Directed by: LynDon McCray AVAIL HERE & ON ITUNES NOW! The steady disappearance of female emcees in hip-hop has rendered singer/songwriter/emcee Amanda Diva restless. “When the Grammys removed the Female Rap category, I knew something had to be done,” says the 26-year old Grenadian American. “Whatever I do, I’m gonna bring it back.” That’s just one of her goals for 2008. The other is to remind the world exactly what a dope female emcee is. And she won’t be riding any man’s coattails to do it. She doesn’t have to. An accomplished poet, journalist, radio & television personality, scholar (she has a Master’s degree in African-American Studies), singer, and lyricist, Amanda Diva is definitely the best kept secret in female emcees. Her numerous gifts and abilities are what make her the quintessential artist. Just look at her achievements: she hit the scene as a spoken word poet on Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry Jam in 2002 and 2005 and went on to host the Sirius Satellite Radio show “Breakfast at Diva’s” on HipHopNation/40 from 2003-2008. Around the same time, she became the “face of hip-hop” as host of MTV2’s “Sucker Free” programming from 2004-2005 and has interviewed the likes of Jay-Z, Nas, Outkast, 50 Cent, T.I., The Roots, Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, and more. Channeling her magnetic media personality and sage lyricism into one vessel, Amanda released the poetry mixtape It’s Bigger Than Hip-Hop, The Mixtape: Vol. 1 in 2004. Two years later she followed up with the critically acclaimed Still Sucka Free Vol.1, of which Scratch magazine wrote: “Amanda is a fresh breeze…Not only is her pen as sharp as OJ’s knife, but her storytelling game is up there with the best of them.” (Feb ’07) Now, after a brief stint replacing “Floacist” Natalie Stewart of the Grammy-nominated R&B duo Floetry (Amanda toured on the 21-city Floetry Remix last year), Miss Diva has released the seminal EP Life Experience, the first installment in her “Experience Trilogy” series. Issued by her own DivaWorks Inc. imprint, the “Experience Trilogy” is a set of EPs each with their own themes of “Life,” “Love,” and “Live!” Now moving to get her voice to the people she’s successfully worked to get the video for the EP’s first single, “Supa-Woman,” in rotation on VH1 Soul, MTV Jams, & MTV U. Taking Life Experience on the road she recently toured with Lupe Fiasco and silenced doubters following the footsteps of artists like Kanye West and John Legend by packing the house at NYC’s legendary SOB’s for her first headline show. Whether live or on wax, Amanda Diva’s Life Experience is a musical experience. With production spanning from legends like Clark Kent to newcomers like Don Cannon of the Aphilliates, Life Experience is full of soulful tracks with production reminiscent of golden-era Hip-Hop. Amanda fearlessly paints pictures of the experiences that have shaped her and allows listeners to see both sides of her artistry -- the emcee and the songstress (yes, she sings!). She flaunts those emcee skills in the Caribbean-spiced song “SupaWoman:” Woman with a plan/ that's me Southern bred/ blood of the Caribbean sea Hear it in these words I speak clearly I’m more than just for males to study gynecology To be a dope emcee/ devoted my time To writin and reciting rhymes But before I broke my notebook’s bind I had to break the box and open up my mind… -Amanda Diva, “Supa-Woman” Life Experience, ‘07 Indeed, Amanda Diva has something to say and she’s saying it for women, for hip-hop, and for the world.
