Amy has co-written songs for established and emerging artists alike, amongst them: Keith Urban, James Blunt, Ella Henderson, Labrinth, Niall Horan, Jamie Lawson, Birdy and Dua Lipa. Recently Amy has written the music for the hit BBC One drama 'Keeping Faith' starring Eve Myles. Amy was honoured to have been asked and was sent the scripts which she then used to compose the music that would reflect the lead character's journey throughout the series. Each of the six songs are featured across the episodes and provide an emotional underscore that proved to make a powerful connection between the show's characters and viewers alike.
