With her hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan as a springboard, she has risen into the spotlight as an award-winning singer/songwriter,
energetic performer and multi-enterprise businesswoman.

Amy has performed across the globe at events such as the Calgary
Stampede (CAN), Gympie Music Muster (AUS) and Canada Day at Trafalgar Square (UK). She has showcased at conferences such as AmericanaFest, Canadian Music Week, JunoFest, and Australian Music Week. With a special place in her heart for Australia, this “Canadian boomerang,” had her first two singles reach Top 10 on Australian’s KIX Country Music Network.
