Amy Jackson An Actor Who Sings

Amy has been singing in choirs since preschool, and training formally since the age of eleven. She would classify her sound as "Gloriously Old-School Broadway." In addition to the expected showtunes, she loves singing jazz, classic rock/folk, and is beginning to unleash her inner crazy rocker. Her musical influences are an assorted mixture - Liza Minnelli, Janis Joplin, Sarah Vaughan, Carol Burnett, Barbara Streisand, Freddie Mercury, Regina Spektor, Judy Garland, and the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald. The most played albums on her iPod are the original Broadway cast recording of HAIR, The Beatles (meaning The White Album), and Fitzgerald & Pass...Again.
