   About Amy Vee
Since returning from her September southbound mini-tour, Amy Vee has had three tracks nominated as Top 6 finalists in the ABC Music Awards..

Lovely ghostly folk – Steph Hughes, Triple J.

Amy began charming audiences with her ethereal indie pop repertoire at a tender age, playing solo showcases in venues up and down the East Coast of Australia during the early 2000s. During these formative years, it was Amy’s enchanting vocals and unconventional guitar style that caught the attention of audiences and industry peers. Amy’s unique voice was sought after, allowing her to perform and record with some Australian dance music greats such as Groove Terminator (as Australian tour support for Moby) and ON (ABC Music Awards Artist of the Year).

However, it was the self-penned and honest musings of the quiet Novocastrian psychology student that led to a small grant from a local label to feature on a compilation album of works from regional artists. The humble fruits of these sessions contributed to a debut 4-track EP. The title track topped the Australia mp3 charts in its category for over 8 weeks.

Shortly after, Amy recruited three like-minded friends to form a new musical collective known as Amy Vee & The Virtues. The band were the perfect complement to Amy’s sweet subversive music, and proved so on the band’s first EP, described by Australian Musician’s Media as “truly magical… definitely worth having on your play list”. The band went on to record their debut album in 2007 and shared the stage with international and local touring acts including Hawksley Workman, The Whitlams, Little Birdy, and many more. The band also enjoyed national airplay and picked up several music industry gongs, including MUSICOZ Artist of the Year (2005) and even a nomination for an LA Music Award (2007).

Taking nothing for granted, Amy has recently embarked on a new leg of her journey, which has seen her return to her humble beginnings as a solo songwriter and performer.

Amy performed several shows in Canada in early 2009, after she was selected from thousands of hopefuls to showcase at Canadian Music Week in Toronto.

Amy’s new EP “Sleeping Dogs Lie” was released in September 2009 and Amy has been busy showcasing her new collection of songs to audiences in Newcastle, Sydney, Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Adelaide, Canberra and Melbourne..

Hey Amy,
It was so good to see you at the City Library today! As beautiful as your recordings are, a recording can never quite capture the real thing. Your voice is just beautiful. All the best for your Elwood gig. On another note - as much I love Melbourne, I do envy you being so close to the Hunter!I must get back up there sometime!
All the best,
Mandy.x
