AMY'S BIOGRAPHY _____________________________________________
Amy Lynn Lee was born on December 13, 1981 to John and Sara Lee. They moved from California to Florida to Illinois, and then finally to Arkansas. Amy met young guitarist Ben Moody at a summer camp in 1994 while playing on the piano. He was astounded by her talents as a singer and pianist, so he convinced her to form a band with him. They went through several names, including Childish Intentions and Stricken, before settling for Evanescence. They were signed by Big-Wig Enterprises in 2000 and released "origin". Later in 2002, they got a record deal with Wind-Up along with former band-mate David Hodges and created "Fallen," a 6x platinum selling album, which led to the international success that they are today. |
