Female alterna-folk-rock, wish everything was still on vinyl, but kinda like the way my face looks in the reflection of a cd kind of music
Bio / Background
With many years of songwriting under her jeweled belt, Amy Saia is finally on the scene with a cd brimming of solid lyrics, vocals, and unique, folk-alternative style. The Kansas City area musician developed a strong desire to write after hearing John Lennon's solo work and Bob Dylan's mind-blowing lyrics.
"I said, 'Okay, so I'm a girl.' Who cares? I want to be like them! And it was hard because at the time there weren't very many female musicians who were getting true respect. But it transgressed gender for me- I just wanted to rock."
Music has always meant a lot to this sensitive artist. As a young girl, she says she escaped the pain of living under a controlling and sometimes abusive father's roof by listening to radio and countless records.
"I remember when, 'Band on the run" came out, and The Cars first album... it was magical to me. Music has always meant something more.

In high school, Saia babysat in exchange for piano lessons and says in a year people were taping her recital. Then, at eighteen she taught herself guitar and began writing songs.
But it has taken her years to record and release her first album. Why?
"I had no confidence. I needed to know that someone would be there to receive it when I finally let it go. Like having a kid, I couldn't just send it off without assurance." She says friends and growing fans have urged her to let others hear the music.
Amy's husband Scott, an engineer who is a master at computers and all things musical, built a studio in the basement of their house and explained it was for her to record the cd. The two have spent the last year laying down all tracks by themselves and are expectant of whether others will enjoy what they call their labor of love.
"I think they will. We've discovered that the old is true... if you work hard, good things happen. And it you believe, they already have."
