Amy Sinha MP - Singer Songwriter

www.amysinha.com Born in South Wales, UK, Amy, the youngest of three sisters, was submerged in m​usic from an early age. She entered her first talent contest aged six, singing “Somewhere over the Rainbow”, terrifying moments as she could barely reach the microphone. However, this also marked the beginning of her love of music and performance. Inspired by such a musical upbringing, Amy studied classical piano and singing, but also developed an intimate love affair with Jazz in her teens. A difficult and mature genre that touched Amy very deeply. Possibly because the complexity of this style reflected the events that were occurring in her life during the initial stages of her newfound developing passion. Amy experienced some rare medical conditions in her early years, being declared as being one out of only 5 children like her in the U.K at the time. She had developed cataracts in both her eyes leaving her almost blind, and then diagnosed with a rare nerve condition which meant she was unable to feel hot, cold or superficial pain. Due to this nerve condition, she also developed Osteoarthritis leaving her almost wheelchair bound and caused her growth to stop completely. The ongoing traumas of her early childhood inevitably played a major role in suppressing Amy’s confidence throughout her life, especially being so short during an age when all a child wants to do is “fit in”, and certainly not stand out because they looked so different. In what Amy describes as a ‘lightbulb’ moment surrounding her emotions, Amy attended Gorseinon College where she studied Music and Music Technology A-levels. Amy became coined with the description as “The Jazz Singer” and encouraged to pursue her love of Jazz more seriously, and where she also attended with fellow Classical singer, Katherine Jenkins. With the continuous support of her family and new found ‘tree’ friends (A story she will most happily explain whenever asked 😊), Amy went on to graduate from Leeds College of Music with a BA (Hons) Degree in music specialising in Jazz, an achievement that she never dreamed was possible. Amy’s deep connection with the various different aspects of Jazz caught the attention of some of the best Jazz musicians currently working in the UK and saw her contacts book filling. A meteoric rise in status and sheer talent has led to Amy working with notable musicians. Amy’s desire to challenge herself, led her to also being a member of the BBC Chorus of Wales where she compared her first rehearsal to an episode of ‘Glee’...the aired version. 😊 As a means of releasing her inner demons, Amy released her debut album in 2012 called ‘A Sin With Love’, in which all the songs were self composed, and expressed strong reflections from the complexities of her inner thoughts heard in all of her songs. Since releasing her album. Amy's growing musical confidence and personality caught the attention of an American Musician, Ronald Lashley, and so she collaborated with an Independent Record Label based in New York & released 2 singles with them. Working on accepting all her challenges, mainly in her own head, Amy moved away from the complexities of Jazz and released 3 pop/Country Singles ‘ written by Amy & produced by Kevin Jones, The first Single ‘In My Mind’, a simple yet effective song written while Amy was feeling in a low place mentally, reached Number 4 in the ‘World Music Stage’ - A Top 10 radio show countdown. All of Amy’s music is available to download and steam online. Amy has involved herself with many charities throughout the years, including “Action For Children’, a subject that remains very close to her heart.
