amy's "a"meansASIA. "m"meansMUSIC...these 2are the words I love.

I was born in a little city near Tokyo,and brought up in the southern part of Japan. Since I was a little child,my father had made me listen to lots of records of great dance music from America that he had collected. Glowing up in a musically rich environment made me become an active girl who loves singing,dancing and playing the instruments.
When I was 12, some songs of The Beatles inspired me and gave me a chance to start writing songs. In my teens I joined some of my friends' bands.(We mainly performed at school festivals..At first, I was a keyboards player..later became a vocalist.)

till2000,In Tokyo,I belonged to some bands. I learned a lot of kinds of music...funk,soul,rock,jazz,salsa,etc. from the Tokyo underground music scene( It's the real exciting and creative scene that I love...)!! I was also a member of a singing and dancing girl hiphop group. Also, I worked as a back up singer and as a vocal teacher.
2001-2003 Retired from music business..(because of my health problem)
2004 In Taipei, Taiwan where I was staying in, I decided to start to sing professionally again. After I came back to Tokyo,I started singing again as a solo singer,amy-A (my new name!) That was my rebirth.
2005In Tokyo, finally I started a funk band with my good friends. It's called"Q.A.S.B."!!!

"Poetry Dance"



"Tempted to get tired
But I can't
Until I've asked you to poetry dance
With me
Two nights
Would be too short
In this brief life
So we dance for life

I'll bring my pen
If you'll come with your open
Heart smile
We'll celebrate things we can depend on
Never flowing out of style
Like this
I surely do
Let me know
If this is a good rhyme for you"
