Amanda Jo Williams

about

Amanda Jo Williams was born a girl in Hogansville, Georgia. She had a lot of outdoor fun, especially with her brother. She quit college very abruptly and moved to New York at 19 after attending a modeling convention in Columbus, Georgia. It was a rip-off but Amanda met an agent. He said, “Come to New York.” After a year on the runway, some lovers and things, Amanda and friends took a bus to Kingston and hitchhiked with a woman to Woodstock. They slept in the woods the first night and Amanda was scared. In town the next day they met a crazy shaman of Woodstock. He took her to artist Paul McMahon’s house, the hippie hangout. Paul would teach her to play guitar when she was pregnant with his twins, Ginger & Hominy. Williams was about to enter nursing school when she came to Los Angeles in August 2008 to play Manimal Vinyl’s Spaceland residency. In December 2008 she moved to L.A. to pursue music full force, writing and performing regularly her neu-country folk weirdy pop/rock songs, a little bit of country rap, and exploring the wonders of video art. She now resides both west coast and east coast. www.twitter.com/ajwmusic www.myspace.com/amandajowilliamsmusic http://listn.to/AmandaJoWilliams http://amandajowilliams.tumblr.com all things artist: amandajowilliamsmusic@yahoo.com for licensing contact: info@heydaymediagroup.com User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
