Amy
Robert’s versatile vocals shine with every
facet of her songwriting - ranging from velvety
smooth to powerfully raw. Her music entices with
solid grooves & poetic lyrics.
Amy delves deeply into situations
and emotions with each song. Today when there is
an overkill of “I Love You” songs, “Break
Up” songs and “Political Angst”
songs, Amy takes you innately into the even more
delicate inner workings of the heart. A refreshing
change from today’s “everything sounds
the same” musical atmosphere. Each song is
unique in flavor; the thru line always being the
vibe of the piece.
Her voice is soulful, the music
is groove-able, electronica adds color to the sound
and Amy’s rock influences are apparent as
heavier guitars and drums swells into the music
at just the right climactic moments.
In L.A she sings professionally
and can be heard on HBO, NBC, Lifetime, The WB,
Comedy Central, and more. Amy has performed with
various bands in LA over the past several years;
drawing up crowds and getting positive press. After
spending several years gigging, Amy is now pursuing
a solo career. Half the songs on her album are reworks
of past songs while the other half are newly inspired.
There is a large spectrum of her experiences over
the last several years of her life put into this
project. Not only has this album been a rebirth
for Amy as an artist, but in the process she has
also given birth to her first son, Owen David, born
August 23rd, 2005. He has been a part of this album
from the get go; from giving Amy pregnancy nausea
while recording her first few songs Midnight, Without
U and Shelf to being IN the vocal booth while she
finished up lead vocals on Butterfly.
Amy Roberts is currently completing
the last song of her Debut Album, It Is, with Dan
Marfisi (Jones House Music) on instrumentation/arrangements,
co-produced by long time musical friend Josh Prince,
and mixed and mastered by Michael Woodrum (Soundmoves
Studios). Other gifted players include Nova Jones,
Brian McKenzie, Carla Clark and Cameron Stone. Fans
have said Amy sounds like Stevie Nicks, Norah Jones,
Gwen Stefani, Hope Sandoval or Erykah Baduh. Friends
say she channels the angelic voice of a blues singer
from the past. But whatever you hear in Amy's voice
is most definitely a reflection of her life as an
artist. "The life you live is the lesson you
give". Amy's longtime bassist friend Brian
McKenzie says it best: "The way she lives her
life, everything she does, the home she has created,
the way she treats people, the sound of her voice,
the way she makes others feel...it's something special".
