After receiving a guitar from her parents at age 12, Amanda's love for music grew.
She grew up attending a charismatic Christian church where music and dancing played a dominant role.
Peers witnessed how powerful and influential music could be in people's lives and later became involved in the church's worship band.
In 2011, Peers won a local singing competition in her hometown of Rochester, NY. She then went on to form a soul/rock band called Amanda Lee Peers & The Driftwood Sailors.
In 2012, the band released a full-length album titled White Horses & Black Jeans and gained a strong regional following. They played numerous festivals and opened for artists such as The Spin Doctors and Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers.

Singing her own soulful rendition of ZZ Ward’s “Put The Gun Down”, she was featured on Season 7 of NBC’s The Voice as a contestant on Gwen Stefani’s team.
After her appearance on NBC's The Voice, Peers released her first solo EP titled "Summertime State of Mind" in 2015.
