Raised in small-town New Zealand, Amelie moved to Amsterdam in 2021 to continue her

passion for jazz and upright bass. Now, at the beginning of her development as a songwriter, she

embarks on a journey as an indie-folk musician. Inspired by the likes of Adrienne Lenker, Joni

Mitchell and Aldous Harding, Amelie’s songs embody the New Zealand folk music experience.

IIn October 2024, Amelie released her debut EP, Warm Light. This collection of songs breath

sentimentality and turbulence that moving away from home inspired. In that sense, a musical

diary was formed that speaks of isolation and finding comfort in unknown. With wistful guitar

playing, a gentle voice and poetic melodies, these songs aim to fuel vulnerability.

On a quest to dive deeper into honesty and beautiful power, Amelie is currently working on a

fresh group of songs which she hopes to release in 2025. This new music poses as a

continuation of herself and portrays the emotional and mystical growth that continues to

encroach on a young woman and musician.
