A BIT ABOUT AMANDA...
Amanda Kind is gutsy, grounded, and gloriously unpretentious. A West Coast girl with a heart full of lyrics and a head full of vocal pedagogy, she’s equal parts singer, vocal coach, and the kind of friend who’ll hype you up and tell you when your eyeliner’s crooked. Whether she’s singing her soul out on stage or talking real-life stuff like confidence, body image, or the beauty of imperfection, Amanda shows up with a big voice and an even bigger heart.
She’s a sought-after commercial voice teacher and vocal nerd, teaching private clients through her company Vocal Versatility and classes at Wilfrid Laurier University. She has training from Kwantlen University College, Canadian College of Performing Arts, University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, Boston Conservatory, CCM Institute at Shenandoah, and beyond. She believes in staying curious, learning constantly, and helping artists find their voices on and off stage.
A BIT ABOUT JAMES...
James Downham is the kind of guy who can belt out a country ballad on Saturday night, then show up on your porch Sunday morning with a power drill and a double-double (Timmies forever). With a voice that lands somewhere between butter and velvet, a toolbox of cheeky jokes, and enough small-town charm to run for mayor (of at least three towns), James brings heart, humour, and honesty to everything he does.
In 2023, he released his solo album The Long Way Home, featuring radio singles like One Mile at a Time, Raised On, Unwind, and Wine & Whiskey. A sweeping duet called We’re Okay with Amanda changed the game. After two more collaborations - In the Mood for Christmas and Another Round - the pair officially combined forces with a countrified cover of Dirty Dancing’s (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life. A duo was born. He lobbied for James & Amanda, but ultimately let Amanda & James win lol.
