Ami Williamson Clip
"One Woman Show at it's best- Ami Williamson sings like an angel, she plays piano, drums, dulcimer and raps it all up in Cabaret, performing her own poignant songs and covers from Opera to AC/DC - this Folk Singer Show Girl will impress!" -The Australian. April 2009.
Born, Sydney Australia. Studied at The McDonald College of Performing Arts, ranking third in NSW for HSC Music. Awarded a Licentiate of Music in Singing (AMEB) and A+ for 8th grade Piano (AMEB).
Studied acting with Hayes Gordon at The Ensemble Theatre. Graduated with a Bachelor of Music from The Sydney Conservatorium of Music, winning a scholarship in opera to further her studies in Germany with the world renowned Baritone Thomas Quastoff.
Winner of the Sydney Language Scholarship studying at The Goethe Institute in Berlin.
Winner of the Mars Hill Songwriting competition.
Recorded for 2MBS-FM, ABC Classic FM and ABC Radio National as well as performing on Channel Nine's A Current Affair, Hey Hey It's Saturday, Good Morning Australia, The Midday Show, Burkes Backyard , The Today Show, 9am, and Mornings with Kerri-Anne.
Ami is one of those rare female singers. While her roots are firmly in the tradition of singer/songwriter, her richly diverse upbringing had Ami taking the stage not only in opera and classical, but also touring nationally with her father Country Music Star John Williamson performing her own material.
“She has toured Australia several times over. She’s graduated from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and Ensemble Acting Studios. Daughter of Australian music legend John Williamson, Ami Williamson is an artist in her own right and bringing audiences to their feet!” -The Canberra Times.“What do you get when you mix an entertainer with a songwriter? An opera singer with a comedian ? A folk singer with a set of drums ? A show girl with a poet?.....Ami Williamson! – The Canberra Times.
