Amy grew up in idyllic Tasmania, Australia, surrounded by musicians, story-tellers, artists, and educators. These formative years and rich childhood shaped a lifelong mission; to relish all the ways that music adds to the human experience, and to ensure the gift of music-making is accessible to as many as possible.

With a Bachelor of Music in Classical Voice, Amy is a distinguished soprano whose career spans classical, jazz, and contemporary genres. For over two decades, she has performed, taught, composed, and directed - bringing music to life in communities, studios, and schools across Australia.

Since locating to Sydney in 2013 with her husband, Bass Baritone Christopher Richardson, and their (now-grown) children, Amy’s creative reach has only expanded. She has founded award-winning music schools, led children’s singing programs, advised national music education bodies, and directed choirs nationwide. Today, she conducts three choirs, freelances as an artistic director, while running a music studio from her home. By day, Amy works as Director of Music (P-12) in an Independent school in Sydney, where she continues her mission to shape and equip young musicians with skills, passion and purpose.
​
Beyond music, Amy finds inspiration in poetry, painting, and in spending time in the Australian outdoors. Her compositions are typically inspired in this space; gravitating towards themes of gratitude and hope.
