Audio: Inner Voice from The Lost Chapter
Copyright 2004 - 2010 Amie Ridley
I first started playing the piano when I was six years old. I never had any formal lessons; I was self-taught. My first song was composed at age fourteen. My first album was released when I was twenty-five. My music has evolved over the years from intricate piano pieces to multi-layered synthesizer melodies, from creating songs through my keyboard to the music creating songs through me. Sometimes it feels like I am in a trance. In fact I think my best pieces are when I am in this state of mind. It's like the world around me no longer exists; it is just me and the wave of sound flowing through me. I can barely breathe and all my energy is completely wrapped up in the music pouring out of my fingers. I become one with the music as it chooses to express itself. And only when the song has decided it has finished telling its story, then my fingers stop, frozen over the keys. I exhale and once again I can move.

Spirituality and Healing are the loves of my life and I channel this in any way my talent, skills, imagination, and personality can express it. While composing I have also explored and sharpened my knowledge and experience in Holistic and Vibrational Healing. And since the release of my last album, Crystology, I have been studying to receive my Doctorate's Degree in Metaphysical Science. Below is a list of how my certifications have intermingled with my music over the years:
