Amali Ward is a Sydney based soul singer/songwriter who first came to the public's attention at just 15. After making the top 10 of Australian Idol, rather than take the route of her manufactured contemporaries, Amali insisted on writing and developing as an artist, working with established talents including RHyNo (True Live), Pip Norman (TZU), Tyrone Noonan (george) and N'Fa (1200 Techniques).
2007 saw Amali, now 19, release her independent, self-written, self-produced debut EP, a mixture of vintage funk grooves, pop hooks and a smokin’ band. The EP was a success with both fans and critics – the Daily Telegraph raved “taking her time has paid off,†and the EP received a MusicOz award.
It’s this maturity and musicianship that sets Amali apart from her contemporaries, putting her in the same artistic stratosphere as old school influenced Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone and Alicia Keys, rather than the dime-a-dozen R&B divas who are here today, gone the next. It’s this staying power that Amali has strived for in her time away from the spotlight. But she won’t be there for long: with a string of dates lined up including the East Coast Blues and Roots Festival, 2008 is set to be a massive year.
