About Amity Dry
Amity Dry has been studying music and piano and performing on stage since she was just five years old. She began writing original songs when she was twelve and was accepted into a performing arts school at sixteen.
Her life has always been dedicated to following her dream of being a recognised singer/songwriter and in 2003 that dream was realised with the release of her debut album 'The Lighthouse.'
But the road wasn't always easy, and Amity spent many years honing her skills as a songwriter and performer before her big break. This journey included making trips to Nashville, USA's country music capital, which is home to many of the world's best songwriters. It was on these trips that Amity really progressed as a writer, and it was following her second trip that she wrote her future smash hit song, 'The Lighthouse.'
In late 2002 Amity finally go the break she had been looking for, but it came in a package she had not expected. ”When I first heard about 'The Block' it never entered my mind it would be as big as it was,” she recalls. “We thought it would be a fun experience, something to tell the kids about and maybe something that would help me get a small break for my music.”
That small break ended up being an audience of over 3 million people and within months of signing on the show Phil and Amity were household names. In July 2003 Amity's debut album 'The Lighthouse' was released and debuted at no.8 on the ARIA chart. 'The Lighthouse' went on to peak at no. 6 and was certified GOLD in just a week.
In the following months 'The Lighthouse' was released in New Zealand and South Africa and 'The Block' was played in countries as far reaching as Estonia, South America and Ireland.
After the hectic time Amity spent promoting 'The Lighthouse' and 'The Block' she then spent the next year taking some much needed time off to write her second album, 'True To Me'.
