The vegan pianist - Amber

Amber has been a musician all her life and wants to use her musicianship as a platform to spread the animal rights message.

As a child, Amber's parents enrolled her in piano, violin and guitar classes, as well as choir.  Playing the piano has always been a big part of Amber's identity. In college, she graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Piano Performance and is now a piano teacher for children.

During COVID, Amber and her partner began curating music where he would DJ and she would play the piano. The couple were asked to go on tour with The Backstreet Boys to support their European tour and ended up playing at six shows! More recently, Amber travelled to Australia to perform at the Dominion Anniversary Animal Rights March. Being surrounded by passionate activists fighting for animals was such a special experience for Amber, she hopes to do it again soon.

Amber went vegan on a whim at age 18 because she cared about animals and the environment. Once she started educating herself on how animals in the agricultural system were treated, she knew she could never go back. Amber has an almost two year old son and believes it's important to cultivate his love for animals at an early age.

In this episode, Amber shares her experience with performance anxiety, the release of new songs later this year and her vegan pregnancy.
