Amy Stroup
AMYSTROUP.com/ABOUT (bio)
Creating quite a buzz as an independent artist, Amy Stroup communicates what she knows is true about life and faith in melodic lyric and verse. Amy has released four albums under her own label including, The Other Side of Love | Session One. She partnered with Grammy award-winning producer Nathan Chapman on the project to deliver delicately honest lyrics, pure vocals and smart instrumentation.
More recently, she has taken a less conventional approach and collaborated with a few good friends and producer Thomas Doeve to release the next three sessions of The Other Side of Love. Sessions Two, Three, and Four of the project will house the songs “Hold Onto Hope, Love”, “Chin Up”, “Odds of Being Alone”, and more as heard on ABC’s Private Practice, Brothers & Sisters, and Castle as well as the CW’s shows under Milkglass Creative.
“I try to focus on writing simply a great song, one song at a time, and when you are working with people you genuinely enjoy and live life with, the music naturally comes and speaks,” says Amy. She wanted to be open to God’s promises: “I wanted to be a righteous person [and] thrive like that.”
Amy draws from a range of geographic locales and musical influences, having called Boston, Texas and now Nashville home. There, she earned a liberal arts degree in marketing and classical guitar from Lipscomb University. Growing up, her musical influences included songwriters Ennio Morricone, Lucinda Williams and Patty Griffin.
In addition to the U.S., Amy has performed in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and Australia, often to benefit causes like MochaClub and Athentikos.
