Amy was born in Riverside, California. At school, Amy was president of the choir council, and participated in drama where she was in a number of plays. She has never had professional voice lessons, but has had classical piano lessons. Her family moved to many places, including Illinois, Kansas, and Florida, but finally settled in Little Rock, Arkansas, where Evanescence started. She graduated from Pulaski Academy in the year 2000. She also briefly attended Middle Tennessee State University.
