Amy Savin
- Amy Savin is a singer-songwriter from Toronto, Ontario. While music has always been a passion for Amy, during her last year of high-school in 2004 Amy suffered from vocal nodules and couldn’t speak for nearly six months. It was through these darker times that Amy’s song-writing became more profound, and urgent. She wondered if she would ever be able to sing again or see her songs come to life. After a long journey towards recovery however, she was able to record a demo with some school friends in 2006, which landed in the hands of producer Jason A. Chapman from Boreal Forest Music Productions. Jason encouraged Amy to pursue a career in music and together they co-produced a 5-song EP, which was released in March 2009.
Apart from these songs being featured on Indie film, Christian radio & TV, one of the songs, “Won My Heart” won first prize on a singing competition hosted by The Drew Marshal Show. The celebrity panel of judges consisted of Jennifer Paige, Tal Bachman, Laila Biali, James Linderman, and the Grand finale judge –radio host, Delilah. Through the show Amy received useful feedback from the judges, free recording time, and gained exposure to key players in the music industry.
In June 2011, Amy released her first full-length album titled, Skylines, with platinum producers such as John Nathaniel (Montreal, Qc) and Ed Cash (Nashville, TN). Skylines received two nominations in the 2011 GMA Covenant awards. Over the years Amy has collaborated with various artists including Leigh Nash (formerly from Six Pence None the Richer), Jacob Moon, Jodi King, and worship leader, Mia Fieldes (Hillsong). Amy’s style combines elements of folk and pop, and vocally she has been compared to artists such as Sarah Mclachlan, Joy Williams, and Colbie Caillat.

" Jesus, Shape My Desires. Teach Me to Surrender"
09/02/2011 Time: 28:11 Size: 25.8Mb Rate: 128kbps Stereo It's hard to make sense of our emotions and feelings, especially when it doesn't line up with the way we've been brought up. While Homosexuality is not a simple topic to delve into, Holly Ardelean shares her testimony of struggling with loneliness, and homosexual relationships. Through it all, it is important to understand that the greatest and most unifying sin we all share, is our past or current rejection of Christ. That is the reason we are separated from God. Once we embrace Christ, it is amazing how He gives us a NEW heart, with NEW desires. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (II Corinthinas 5:17). It doesn't mean change is easy, but it is possible to those who believe!
