Singer / songwriter Amy Pearson grew up in Birmingham in the UK.
She began singing at the age of 3, and writing songs at the age of 6.
It wasn’t long before she was performing in bands and taking part in talent competitions.
Back in 2003 Amy came to the attention of Take That’s Gary Barlow who helped Amy to move her career forward.
Amy Pearson is now living and working in Australia and her latest single, Ready to Fly, has been chosen as the theme for Channel 7’s Olympic coverage later this year. She joined me by phone on my morning radio programme on 98.5 Sonshine FM today.
It may seem to some that she’s an overnight success but there are a lot of years behind her musical career and I’m sure that there’ll be a lot more to come in the years ahead.
Amy’s album, Who I Am, is set to be released soon. We chatted about some of the people that helped along the way musically to bring the album together and the fact that she’d written a lot of songs before the album came together. Out of the 70 or so songs she had penned, Amy had to choose just 13 tracks to appear on the album.

Thanks for dropping in, Sally.
I’m sure that Amy’s career will continue to go from strength to strength.
She was a delight to speak to and I hope she’ll drop in to our studios when she next visits Perth.
