I just wanted to take time out of my day and extend my gratitude for all of the support everyone has shown me and my music. It means the world to me. As an artist you put all of your frustrations/ feeling's /life experiences/ downfalls/ and hopes into your work and pray for people to identify. With all of the kind messages and plays I have been getting I feel truly validated and know I am on the right path. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Much love- Amber

Dec 25 2008, 12:55 PMThe holiday spirit in meThe holiday spirit in me
Current mood:
contemplative
Category: Life [http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewCategory&FriendID=28584020&BlogCategoryID=12First and foremost I would like to wish everyone a happy healthy holiday season. May you spend this day with people you value most creating quality memories.
I would also like to take a moment to touch on matters that we often seem to ignore during this season. No doubt that for many, the holidays can surface some very deep rooted emotions. Stemming from family, friends, and especially the loss of loved ones. Filling a household with tons of people and expecting all to get along is a feet even Santa can't overcome at times! Know you are not alone in your anxiety : )
For those of you who are missing someone special to your hearts, also know that you are in the companionship of millions around the world. Separation is painful to say the least, in all forms. Take a moment to send them love through meditation, prayer, and warm wishes. I truly believe it will reach them, even if you are not quite sure where they are. Also try your best not to push those who are close to you in this moment away. Let them in and be grateful for their love as best you can.
I suppose my main statement for today is to acknowledge that very few things in life are ideal. It is not fair to your friends or family or yourself for that matter to expect them to be. I believe life is all based on a series of choices. How you choose to perceive, how you choose to react, and how you choose to give. Today I am choosing love. The love for my Mom, my family, my friends and myself.
Happy Holidays to all of you...my friends.

Nov 25 2008, 12:26 PM"Elated Woman"-Amber Ojeda"Elated Woman"-Amber Ojeda
In this moment I am defined
By the fullness of my hips
To the curve in my spine
In this moment I am complete
From the freckles on my face
To the paint on my feet
You see I am a woman one of a kind
My shape is golden
No size can define
From the smallest of numbers
To Roman numeric's
At each stage I am a goddess
And embrace my appearance
I am able to inspire and bring forth new life
I can be soft and nurture
Or fill the room with my light
I am proud and joyful
I uplift and excite
I am a woman elated by life -

July's Most Downloaded
SAN DIEGO READER
By Ollie [http://www.sandiegoreader.com/staff/ollie/] | Published Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2008

Amber Ojeda's "Don't Rush" [http://www.sandiegoreader.com/songs/76/] was the most-downloaded MP3 during July.
What's your favorite moment in "Don't Rush"?
Amber Ojeda [http://www.sandiegoreader.com/bands/amber-amber-ojeda/]: The hook is my favorite part of the song. It reminds me to stay grounded and stop stressing out!
Do you think there's anything missing from the song?
Hmmm... Whenever I finish a song and listen back, I can always pick out a million things I could have done different. However, I am pleased with the choices that were made. My overall expectation for this song was to relax, and I feel it accomplishes that.
What experiences led you to write it?
[img:http://media.sdreader.com/img/photos/2008/08/13/hometown_lead_t180.jpg?370a03faaa4bde2115f371a02430eb3e6a451be5] [http://www.sandiegoreader.com/photos/2008/aug/13/3272/]
Everyday experiences, life and its effect on my psyche. I have the tendency to try and carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. This song was a very therapeutic exercise for me.
What do the lyrics mean to you? What are you trying to express?
Overall, the lyrics are emphasizing the importance in not sweating the small stuff and looking forward to the bigger picture. Life does not have to be that intense, you know?
What do you want people to understand about the song?
That even if life does not seem in your favor at the moment, everything will happen just as it should.

Aug 01 2008, 12:39 AMMusic review from SmoothJazz.com
SmoothJazz.com is delighted to introduce you to this beautiful, confidant singer/songwriter. The young Ms. Amber Ojeda is equal parts talent and ambition and has managed to precisely dialed in the new world of music. She's continuously included on the MySpace Top 100 Artists Chart under Jazz/Soul/R&B (her MySpace page has received well over 600,000 visitors and she has nearly 30,000 friends), she has been awarded Best of the Best on the Internet by Kick Radio's Global Top 40, and her music can be heard on the Style Networks hit show, "Dress My Nest." Amber's musical approach is uniquely hers, but if I were pressed to compare, I guess Alicia Keys comes to mind because Amber has a jazzy attitude like Alicia and both blend in spoken word with elegance and sophistication, but there are also classic comparisons as well... Billie Holiday for one. Amber's 6-song EP offers up some deep grooves, fresh lyrics and a cool, new perspective on jazz. The Southern California musician is proof positive that Smooth Jazz is evolving not eroding... artists like Amber have been inspired by radio stations like KIFM and KTWV and they have actually influenced her style. We're meeting more and more young artists who have filtered the jazz of their youth (Smooth) and are creating the next generation of the format. All we have to do is open the door a little wider. ~SANDY SHORE
