About

Amy Lynn Hartzler (better known as Amy Lee) was born on December 13, 1981 in Riverside, California. Her zodiac sign is Sagittarius and her ethnicity is Welsh, English, German, and French. She is the daughter of John Lee and Sara Cargill, and has two sisters: Carrie Lee and Lori Lee.

Amy was exposed to music at an early age. At the age of 5 she began playing the piano and by 13 she had started writing her own songs. She soon joined a local band called "The Fallen" which later changed its name to Evanescence when Amy became the lead vocalist. In 2003 they released their first album "Fallen" which went on to become a worldwide success. The single "Bring Me To Life" reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The band went on to release three more albums - The Open Door (2006), Evanescence (2011), Synthesis (2017). They have sold more than 17 million albums worldwide and earned numerous awards including two Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Hard Rock Performance in 2004.

In addition to her work with Evanescence, Amy has also worked on several other projects outside of the band such as composing soundtracks for films such as War Story (2014) and Indigo Grey: The Passage (2015). She also collaborated with other artists such as Seether's Shaun Morgan on the song "Broken".

Amy is currently working on a solo album which will be released sometime in 2020.
