December 9, 2023Amber was very professional. She showed up on time and had her materials ready to go on. We had a talk after her performance, and she's very down to earth. Her performance pieces were geared toward
female empowerment and the audience seemed to enjoy her. I'm very pleased with her performance.

July 8, 2023I know this review is long overdue but it wouldn't be right if I didn't commend this amazing artist. Ms. Amber Whitted was the spoken word artist at my Juneteenth Event and from the first few seconds on her profile videos I knew she was the right person! She's very humble and down to earth and my guests absolutely loved her. I would definitely recommend Ms. Whitted and look forward to working with her again in the future.

October 7, 2020I had Amber over for an adult birthday gathering (at a distance). In trying to figure out the best location for her to perform, to keep everyone protected, she was very cooperative. This did take some time which reduced our 30 minute session. But the time she gave us was just what I hoped. She sang and spoke and was very personable. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone.

My passion is the art of words. I use my pen to create pieces (custom or pre-written) to cater to your event. As a vocalist, I perform jazz, neosoul, R&B, Broadway, and Gospel. I often fuse these vocal styles in with spoken word, which varies in topic. Regardless of the genre, you can expect a genuine, heartfelt performance that will leave a positive lasting impression on your guests.

With the exception of weddings and funerals, I do bring merchandise for purchase and mention that they are available at the event. A place to sell them afterwards would be preferred. If not, attendees may see me directly. If it is your preference that I do not mention merchandise, please advise prior to the beginning of the event.
