Before working and getting Japanese Record Deal with Michael Schenker, Amy Schugar had been developing her skills as a songwriter, arranger, singer and guitarist. Her talent is undeniable, her energy, tenacity and never-give-up attitude have benefited many bands and collaborators in the past. Amy was a popular fixture on the LA metal scene with her Guitar Playing skills in the band "Maiden America" that performed at the now infamous Troubadour, Gazzari's and The Whisky clubs on the Sunset Strip.
Amy seemed to come from a musical background from the start. Her God Mother is the very famous Amalia Mendoza and her Mother was a famous Bullfighter in the 50's and singer named Carla Lee. Carla Lee is also featured in a book called "Women and the Bullring" by Murial Feiner.
For the longest time, only Amy's circle of friends got to hear her music. Then a chance meeting with Mr. Schenker (UFO, Scorpions, MSG) while attending a concert by one of her favorite artists Eric Johnson, Amy was noticed by Mr. Schenker as she was singing and playing Eric's 57-59 Stratocaster on the side of the stage. Michael was impressed with what he heard and saw, and the two began their songwriting collaboration. The duo recorded the album "Under Construction", featuring Schenker's soulful guitar playing and Amy's magical voice. The Recent Release is Sold in Japan and signed on Avalon Records. The album can also be found on Amy's Home Page at Http://Amyschugar.com and on CD BABY. Amy was a special guest with MSG on their Fall/Winter 2003 tour, playing songs of Michaels/MSG, while showcasing Amy's guitar skills and the Schugar/Schenker songs from the album the two wrote together.
Amy has received many endorsement deals with great companies like Daisy Rock Guitars, Floyd Rose Tremolo Systems, D'Addario Strings, Crate Amps, Seymour Duncan, Fernandez Sustainer's and Robert Keeley Electronics and is featured in countless music trade magazines and internet webzines and featured in GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE and BURRNS MAGAZINE in Japan. Amazon.com book out also now. Amy continues to write songs consistent with her bluesy melodic Rock and Roll style. Her band is a rare Female Fronted Rock Power Trio, with Amy doing the Lead Guitar and Lead vocal work, while the guys do the background vocals.

I once said to a zoo keeper "Never put your monkey where your mouth is" He practically threw a fit I covered my laugh and stayed hidden
When I was a kid I never really fit in But got comfortable standing outside of inner circles That were motioning me in
But I liked the taste of "Ah Ah Honey" To much to sell out my monkey jokes Getting excitement from writing in ways others don't comprehend I've pledged "Boo love" to my pen So when I say
"Never hire a lawyer who has no regrets about their turrets" Maybe you'll understand Having fun creating is not my plan It's my "Way King Life"
HEY! How are you doing? Its been awhile since I've spent much time on the site. Time to do some catching up with everyone. Summer was pretty hectic. I'm in the middle of recording. Hopefully we get it mostly done by mid January. In the meantime I just put up a jam track called 2009. Have a listen! Drop us a message sometime. Take Care, Nikko
