07/13/16 Amy Holland American Pop-Rock Singer & Grammy Award Nomination-Best New Artist
Amy Holland was honored with a GRAMMY nomination for Best New Artist after her debut self-titled album. The single, \u201cHow Do I Survive\u201d, soared into the Top 20 on the Billboard charts and put Amy on the map. It was ten years prior that she came to Los Angeles as a teenager to exploit her singer-songwriter skills. \xa0Fortuitously, she met then piano accompanist Michael McDonald, who was later to become producer of the hit LP alongside Patrick Henderson, making her a household name \xa0\u2013 and a few years after that, his wife.
Amy became a staple for music supervisors of films big and small, most notably \xa0Night of the Comet (\u201cLearn to \xa0Love Again\u201d a duet with Chris Farren), Teen Wolf (\u201cShooting for the Moon\u201d), St. Elmo\u2019s Fire (\u201cFor Just a Moment (Love Theme from St. Elmo\u2019s Fire\u201d) duet with Donny Gerrard) and many more, as well as for television \xa0shows including One Life to Live (\u201cAll I Know\u201d duet with Michael McDonald).
\xa0She also contributed vocally to recording projects with artists including Kenny Loggins, Joni Mitchell, Tim Weisburg, Doobie Brother Patrick Simmons as well as Michael McDonald\u2019s solo albums. Her songs were recorded by Judy Collins (\u201cThe Journey to Miracle River\u201d), Tim Weisburg (\u201cI\u2019ll Never Give Up\u201d) and others and \u201cShe\u2019s on Fire\u201d was recently sampled by Lil Wayne.
