Amy Slattery is an 18 year old musician from the UK who is currently aspiring to have a career in the music industry. She uploads covers to You Tube, where she plays all of the instruments on songs by mainly 1960s bands such as The Beatles, The Everly Brothers and The Hollies.

 

​Amy grew up hearing the 60's music her dad played constantly around the house. While her friends were listening to the current bands Amy was into The Beatles, The Kinks, The Who, The Zombies etc.

Her dad is a musician and she would often go along to watch him and also sit and observe while he worked in his studio. Amy would mess around with all the equipment and taught herself a few things on piano, guitar, bass and drums.

At age 12 Amy first got up and sang and played on stage with her dad and the response she received spurred her on to take her music further.

 

​She started to make her own tracks, playing every instrument and recording all of the vocals and began uploading covers to YouTube. People from all over the world started to take notice and sent her encouraging comments.

​The West End Beatles show 'Let It Be' watched her videos and invited her down to the Garrick Theatre to perform with them. Also, recently The

MonaLisa Twins invited Amy to play bass and sing

with them on a Saturday night at the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool. With over a million YouTube views and almost 6,000 subscribers, Amy is continuing to create more full instrumental covers for you to see on her YouTube channel 'AmySlatteryOfficial'.

Amy has just started playing solo gigs and is wowing audiences with her fantastic musicianship and great voice. She is hoping to get many more gigs in the future and develop her career as a musician.
