Hi, I'm Amy Ward, a passionate songwriter, performer, and music publisher with over two decades of experience in both the NYC and Kansas City music scenes. I've had the pleasure of writing and placing over 100 original songs in film and television, with credits on major networks such as CBS, ABC, Fox, and Lifetime, and featured in popular TV shows like NCIS and Smallville. I also compose and perform for major motion pictures, bringing stories to life through music. I love engaging live audiences and have had exciting opportunities to perform at notable venues and events such as opening for the Dave Matthews Band and singing the National Anthem at Madison Square Garden. Beyond performance, I enjoy educating young musicians, having developed custom curricula and directed school musicals, and mentoring aspiring artists through private instruction and workshops.
