“Sometimes you’re wearing your image. Sometimes you’re baring your soul.  Carrying always this message:  Make sure the light is your own.”  Behind her crystalline voice and lyrics described as "confessional", you’ll notice influences from Motown and jazz with glimpses of 1960s folk-rock greats such as Carole King or Joni Mitchell. Her biggest breakthrough so far was when her song, Carousel, was featured on the hit TV show, Grey's Anatomy.  Early in her career, Obenski learned how to record, mix and produced albums. Many of the recordings from her last five albums were done in her own home studio with herself on multiple instruments. Obenski spent her childhood in San Diego studying classical and jazz while also hiding in her room writing poetry no one would hear.  Once she began songwriting, all that time writing poems in solitude morphed into a talent for lyrics. 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 can currently find Amy Obenski in San Francisco, where she's lived since 2012.
