Amelia Day & Sydnee Conley

Biography

Amelia Day, born and raised in Sumner, Washington—the self-proclaimed 'Rhubarb Pie Capital of the World'—discovered her passion for music at a young age, experimenting with a toy ukulele, drums, and her parents' upright piano to create little songs. Encouraged by her piano teacher, she began writing her own songs by middle school, channeling angsty preteen emotions into her work. A Seattle-based singer-songwriter currently studying at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Day blends folk, rock, and pop with heartfelt storytelling, raw delivery, and perceptive lyricism reminiscent of Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon. Her themes explore journeying into adulthood, climate change, intimate queer relationships, love, heartbreak, and personal betrayal, as seen in her upcoming EP EGO TRIP, including the lead single 'Lady Los Angeles.'

Day overcame severe stage fright in mid-college, starting with performances at farmers markets and local restaurants before building a following that led to sold-out shows in Seattle, Boston, and D.C., plus festival appearances at Bumbershoot, Capitol Hill Block Party, Folklife Festival, and Seattle PrideFest—all achieved solo. Proficient on guitar, keys, bass, and drums, she delivers energetic, emotional live sets with powerhouse vocals compared to Brandi Carlile, Norah Jones, and Alanis Morissette, creating an environment of joy and catharsis. With over a million streams on several songs, she continues to emerge as a resonant voice in music.

Sydnee Conley is a collaborator with Amelia Day, featured on their joint 2025 single 'False Prophet,' marking their latest release together. Limited biographical details are available for Conley, but the track is distributed under Amelia Day and Sydnee Conley, suggesting a musical partnership in contemporary releases.
