Music has been my calling since I was six years old. Watching Michael Jackson perform lit a spark in me, and having a father who’s sung his whole life and plays multiple instruments made music feel like part of my DNA. I grew up surrounded by it, learning jazz piano, developing my voice, and eventually stepping into production. Today, I compose and create music in Spanish, always staying rooted in my Caribbean and South American roots.

My name is Al Ameda, and I’m a singer-songwriter based out of Colorado Springs. Originally from Texas, my folk-adjacent fingerpicking style is playful, melodic, and influenced by my roots in the South. To me, songwriting is a vehicle to discovery and connection about universal human emotions and experiences. I explore themes of loss, joy, friendship, love, and conflict, drawing connections between my own stories, the natural world, and the full spectrum of truths inherent to humanity. To hear my music, you can find me on instagram @AL.AMEDA. My songs Mourning Dove and Today is For the Music (out July 18) are also available on all streaming platforms. 

At the heart of A Carpenter’s Daughter are Michael and Chelsea, a duo whose shared love for music fuels every note they play. While the core remains the two of them, they often expand into a full four-piece band depending on the venue, bringing a rich, dynamic sound to their performances. Their music is rooted in folk rock and Americana, but their appreciation for all genres seeps into their style, creating a sound that feels both familiar and uniquely their own. With lyrics that explore themes of love and life in the mountains, their songs are honest reflections of the world around them—stories told through melody, harmony, and heart.
