I've got a rich, powerful, and smokey voice with a big range. I'm often hired to topline, track demos, create giant vocal stacks, and more. I'm also a multi-instrumentalist, who produces high quality tracks and songs. My collaborations here have led to #1s on Indie Soul Charts globally, and my voice has been featured in several TV shows in the U.S.
I have a powerful, sultry voice, and have long standing experience of writing songs with memorable hooks. I've been told I have a voice similar to India Arie, Joss Stone, Judith Hill, and more.
As a songwriter, I've worked with a number of independent artists from all different backgrounds and genres. Soul, R&B, and Blues are my primary genres, yet, I've been a songwriter and vocal producer for country, pop, and EDM artists.* (See below for details)
When you hire me you can expect quality. I do all comping, tuning, and editing before sending final tracks. I do have access to larger studios if necessary (with an additional cost). I can also offer services for instruments, such as guitar and bass work.
*Songwriting:
• All songs start with a 50/50 split in addition to writing/performing fee
• Full buyout is available starting at $1000 in addition to writing/performing fee

Another great professional delivery from Amber! Her mic and vocal combination and recording technique lends itself to really easy editing. Probably the easiest vocals I get to work with. Really creative and technically gifted. Thanks again Amber!

Amber is simply the best! She has sung BGV's on 3 of my songs & I plan to have her sing on all of my songs. She provides many options to choose from, understands what the song needs & is very adept at providing all the tracks in a professional manner. I HIGHLY recommend Amber!

like a dream come true. Thank you so much Amber. - check_circleVerified
I can't imagine anything Amber couldn't sing!! Her adaptation to the material is uncanny. She has done two very different songs for me and the vocals capture the feel of each song to perfection. Amber is intelligent and conscientious in both interpretation of vocals and her communication. Couldn't ask for more!!

Amber is AMAZING! She delivered vocals which are better than I expected after having tried for months to get someone to sing a song in a particular way. Her harmonies are fantastic and she takes direction and interprets extremely well. The stems delivered were of high quality with impeccable mic technique.. No popping, or proximity issues :)

Amber Sweeney is an exceptional singer with a unique, intimate quality to her voice. Her lead and harmony vocals absolutely transformed my song into a special and memorable track which will no doubt be the best of my new album. Amber is a joy to work with, and handled the vocal production details with ease and charm. Best of the best!

Amber is an amazing talent, it was a blessing to work with her, most of all she was down to earth and went the extra mile to give me what I was looking for!!!

Amber took a song that I was really used to hearing in a certain way and made it her own while still remaining true to the original. I love the voice and feeling she put into it. Super friendly as well.

Not only does Amber have a great voice, and is professional, she had an uncanny ability to translate the vision I had. She also evoked the exact emotion I wanted in the vocal arrangement, and even more with her own flare. Her work is industry level.

Interview with Amber Sweeney
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Geoff Ott is an amazing producer, mixer, engineer. He and I have worked on a number of projects, one of which is a new album that's going to be released in January 2017. If you're looking for someone to produce/mix/master your music, head straight over to his page, and let him help make sure your songs are the best they can be! Also, if you're in need of some bad-ass horns, I highly recommend Danny Flam of NewYorkBrass! He's a brilliant player/arranger. If you want quality, look for both Geoff Ott and Danny Flam.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I do a lot of R&B Hooks, EDM Top-Line Melodies and vocals, and rock/pop stuff.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Singing. Ha. I know it may seem obvious, but my strength lies in my voice and the ability to tell a story with it.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring emotion to each song. They each have a unique story to tell, and I do my best to make sure I'm telling that story in the way each client envisions it coming out of the speakers, and into your ears.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Typically, I like to listen to the song a few times, and get a feel for what my clients are after by listening to what they've already done. Once I can feel the song, then I get to work singing. I'll sing the song once through from top to bottom, and then go back and take it in sections, reviewing each section and comping along the way. After I feel satisfied that I've capture the emotion and tone, I'll do a final critical listen in order to make sure there aren't any hidden gems in other layers, or perhaps a note or phrase that could sit better with the rest of the song. Then I send an MP3 of what I've done to the client for them to give me feedback before bouncing down stems to send them. If any changes are requested, I'll make them, and then get a final approval and send off their shiny new vocals.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most of the work I do with my clients involves singing their pre-written melodies and lyrics, as well as partnering with them to write melodies, lyrics, and even harmonies.
