Ami is one of those rare female singers. While her roots are firmly in the tradition of singer/songwriter, her richly diverse upbringing had Ami taking the stage not only in opera and classical, but also touring nationally with her father Country Music Star John Williamson performing her own material.
“She has toured Australia several times over. She’s graduated from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and Ensemble Acting Studios. Daughter of Australian music legend John Williamson, Ami Williamson is an artist in her own right and bringing audiences to their feet!” -The Canberra Times.
“What do you get when you mix an entertainer with a songwriter? An opera singer with a comedian ? A folk singer with a set of drums ? A show girl with a poet?.....Ami Williamson! – The Canberra Times.
