Amber in El Paso

Amber in El Paso

My name is Amber Banda and I work with iHeart radio. As part of my job I get to interview country artsts and other celebrities like comedians, mediums, local celebs, and more. However I'd like a place where I can add more "colorful comentary" with all sorts of people and just shoot the shit. I'm fairly new to this but you gotta start somewhwere, so come along for the ride and get to know about me, my city, guests I have on, being a female biker and child advocate, my dancing journey, talk about my recovery from an eating disorder and body dysmorphia, my plastic surgeries, my obsession with Invader Zim, tattoos, Harry Potter, being a closet introvert, being a mom of 2 girls with an equally crazy biker husband, and most importantly, my uncensored opinions. Time to make bets on how long it takes me to get cancelled. . Instagram: AmberBanda915 Facebook: AmberBanda915 TikTok: amberbanda915

Amber Banda interview with William Beckmann!
.
When I first heard William's voice, my first thought was John Denver. Originally from Del Rio, TX, Willam Beckmann knows what it's like to come from a bordertown and has taken that influence to Nashville! It is very cool to talk to a country artist who grew up in a Bordertown very similiar and close to El Paso with Mexican-American heritage and who has taken that to the country m...
