Amy Obenski sings about what it's like to be human. Behind her gripping vocals and thought provoking lyrics, you’ll notice influences from Motown and jazz with glimpses of 1960s folk-rock greats such as Carole King or Joni Mitchell.  She is currently working on her seventh album in which she wishes to create “the sound of unfolding”.  The recording will feature a full band (piano, bass, drums, electric guitar), a string quartet and an abundance of lavish harmonies.   She spent several years diving into live-looping, a process in which she instantly records herself on a loop and creates layers upon layers of instruments and dreamy vocals. Obenski spent much of her childhood studying classical and jazz (piano and voice) while also hiding in her room writing poetry no one would hear.  She’s toured the U.S. and Europe, plus recorded and toured with her own French band (The Carbone Band), along with an Artist in Residence in Saint Herblain, France. You also may have heard her song, Carousel, on the hit TV Show, Grey’s Anatomy.  A California native, she grew up in San Diego, moved to Santa Cruz for college (go slugs!) and after a fifteen year love affair with the town, moved on to San Francisco where she's lived since 2012.
