Amy Morgan was born in 1972 and brought up in Astley, nr Wigan, Lancs and now lives near Blackburn. She has always loved singing from a very early age. She sung in the school choir and whilst at secondary school, gave a solo performance at a Christmas concert. She gained an A grade in music and learned to play the piano as well as writing some original songs.
She continued to perform middle of the road songs and covers for about 18 months until she realised that her real passion was for Country music. Apart from her time in Turkey, Amy had never worked solo and had no aspirations to be part of a band. She knew her future career was as a solo Country singer and to help achieve that she invested in a second-hand PA system and in 2010 and re- launched her singing career as a Country singer playing her first Country gig at the Fort San Antone club near Preston where she had been practising for many months. Her sister and brother-in-law were regular visitors to the club but Amy is the only professional singer in the family.
Amy released her first Country album From This Moment in 2011; this features a well chosen mix of old and new songs and one of her own original songs Some Day. Since her first album she has released a further five albums which include six original songs with a further three of her own songs ready to be recorded.
Although Amy learnt piano at an early age she doesn’t play an instrument in her stage act and has no plans to learn an instrument in the future as she feels this would detract from her ebullient (look it up) singing style.
