Biography
Amy’s fourth album, Grow to Catch the Wind (2011), takes her multilayered sound to new levels. A string quartet, layered harmonies, and howling cello solos all join with her signature soaring vocals, piano and guitar. Amy’s lyrical confessions pierce through the sonic complexity, perhaps more than ever. The album, her most brave and honest work yet, is the culmination of several years of soul-searching, a cycle of death and rebirth.
Amy’s eclectic sound draws on her background in classical and jazz, and influences ranging from folk to funk. “Music has always been engrained in my life,” says Amy. “It’s in my breath. People ask my influences but it’s really hard to say. Mozart, Billy Holiday, Prince, Bob Dylan…. They’re all in there.” Amy began studying music in kindergarten, and continued throughout her childhood, singing in her school choir and taking piano lessons.
The haunting and ethereal style of Amy’s songs has drawn the attention of audiences and critics alike. Her track, Carousel, from Amy’s second album, Kite, was featured in the TV show, Grey’s Anatomy, and numerous other tracks have been used regularly for programs on MTV. Her music can also be heard regularly on KZSC radio in Santa Cruz as well as other stations around California and also in the documentary titled, I Do: A Marital Discord in America.
