American singer, songwriter, pianist, and composer, best known as the co-founder and lead vocalist of the rock band Evanescence.Born in Riverside, California, Amy Lee rose to global fame in 2003 as the powerhouse voice and creative force behind Evanescence. Their debut album, 'Fallen', featuring the hit single 'Bring Me to Life', sold over 17 million copies worldwide, won two Grammy Awards, and defined the alternative metal sound of the early 2000s. Lee's classical piano training, distinctive soprano vocals, and introspective, often dark songwriting became the band's signature. Beyond Evanescence, she has pursued solo projects, composed film scores, and collaborated with various artists.

• Lee experienced profound grief at age 6 when her younger sister, Bonnie, died from an unidentified illness. This loss deeply influenced her music, with songs like 'Hello' and 'Like You' directly addressing the tragedy.
• Internal conflict plagued Evanescence early on. Founding guitarist Ben Moody left abruptly during a 2003 tour due to 'creative differences' with Lee. Later, legal battles ensued with former managers over the band name and finances.
• Lee successfully branched into film composition. She wrote and performed the song 'Speak to Me' for the film 'Voice from the Stone' (2017) and created the entire score for the 2020 indie film 'War Story', showcasing her versatility beyond rock.
• In 2014, Lee released a children's album, 'Dream Too Much', inspired by her first child. It featured playful, original songs and lullabies, a stark contrast to her usual Evanescence sound.
