About Me

Hi everyone! Thank you first of all for gracing my page with your presence and taking the time to find out a litte more about this little devonshire maid :) So, heres me!...Born Amie J Corridan on a sunny 11th august 84 I was raised in a little village just oustide plymouth and I ve been singing pretty much since I could make noise. Music and my family have gone hand in hand for generations, so its in my blood FO SHO!!!! My grandmother, Jazz singer June Marlow (Jeanie to me and where i get my J!) and grandfather the double bass playing maestro Peter Van Dike met and toured in a jazz band then went on to found the legendary Van Dike Club in the 70s whilst other members of my family dj, strum, tinkle and wack various instruments in bands and solo projects, generally performing at every opportunity :) Ive been writing songs for a while now but still consider myself a bit of a novice and Im always trying to learn more and work out new ways to express myself through this precious artform. Music is my world, and I think like most musicians I dont know what Id be without it. So, for the past year Ive been working with two amazingly fanbloodytastic producers Aldo Vanucci and Superduper Dan on a collection of demos, some of which will hopefully go towards the creation of my debut album which "fingers crossed" will be released later this year! A song written and produced by myself and Aldo "I think Im gonna make it" was released as the B side to my debut sinlge and retro inspired cover of the Kooks hit "Naive" (available on 7" and iTunes now!) which has been doing better than we could have hoped for winning "Record of the Week" @ FatCity and receiving glowing reviews and airplay from Craig Charles on his BBC funk and soul show, 1xtra and various regional radio stations. At the mo Im playing some of the new tunes with my partner in crime/one man band Superduper and were having a good laugh so check out my live listings and if you know of a venue we should be playing at but havent yet please get in touch!Thank you for entering my little bubble lovely people! Hope you enjoy what you hear while your here and hope you come back again!!!Peace and Love J xx[LOVEMYFLASH]
