The full story

The feeling comes first.

For more than a decade, Amy has written for male and female performers, solo artists, groups, and story-driven projects. Her process begins with emotional truth: finding the title, point of view, and phrase that makes a listener feel understood.

She has collaborated with recording artists, producers, composers, and fellow songwriters, building a reputation for heartfelt lyrics, versatility, and an easy collaborative spirit. Her current work includes “Favorite Mistake,” the worldwide debut single by Beatzone Boys through Trans Continental Records, and “A Hero,” performed by Regina Karma and written with Karen “K-Mack The Songwriter” Ortiz.

Amy is also the founder of Reflected Lyrical Productions LLC, a separate creative production company developing music, books, youth entertainment, and original story worlds.

Listener reactions

Fan testimonials

The melody is soft and really simple but still entrancing. Then the lyrics come in and they blew me away.
The lyrics were touching and I almost cried because she sparked something in my emotions.
The vocals are absolutely astonishing and the lyrics bring tears to my eyes. This is music that can make it one day.
The lyrics were lush and crisp—very clear. This would be a song I would buy and listen to often. I’d rate it a 10 out of 10 hit!
I love how the lyrics are clear and clever.
