Mini bio
How it started.
Amy grew up in a musical family and asked for piano lessons after falling in love with classical music. She met guitarist Ben Moody at a youth camp in Little Rock, and their teenage music-making grew into Evanescence. Years of home demos came before their wider breakthrough.
The songs fans found her through.
Fallen arrived in 2003, bringing “Bring Me to Life,” “Going Under” and “My Immortal” to a worldwide audience. Evanescence won two Grammys in 2004. Amy continued developing the band’s sound through The Open Door, the orchestral and electronic reworkings of Synthesis, and The Bitter Truth.
Room for other sounds.
Away from Evanescence, Amy made Aftermath with Dave Eggar and Chuck Palmer for the film War Story. Dream Too Much brought her family into the studio for children’s songs inspired by motherhood. More recent work includes songs with Halsey, Poppy and Courtney LaPlante, alongside Evanescence’s 2026 album Sanctuary.
