Amy Bowie is a singer-songwriter from Christchurch, New Zealand.
In 2005 she found her way onto the New Zealand Music Radar after success in the nationally televised demo competition 'TV2 SongStar' which saw former Split-Enz-er Mike Chunn, Carly Binding and Jordan Luck select one of her songs to be produced and receive nationwide radio airplay. Going on to record with Victoria Kelly and Joost Langeveld (Strawpeople) her single, 'Stupid Nothing Song' was the only song from 'SongStar' to be immediately re-released on NZ On Air's subsequent Kiwi Hit Disc.
Amy's experience has included performing solo to crowds of up to 120,000 people in numerous outdoor concerts including 'Coca Cola Christmas In The Park' and ASB Starry Nights with The Christchurch Symphony Orchestra. She is currently completing her degree study in Theatre, Film and Music.

Thanks for accepting my request! I really like 'Big Black Hole'. Great flow of words and you can hear them and your voice is good. I'm sick of hearing song where the words are just thrown away. Nice to meet you, even if only in cyberspace.
New Zealand. Wow, good to have a friend out there. We actually have some friends who moved there over the past year and love it. Also, some great scenic shots in my head from "Lord of the Rings"! :) Hope you're doing great! You should cruise by to check out our new logo and especially to download our much beloved song "Travel"! Keep in touch! Jason
