“L.A. Songwriter Series: Amy Powers

Most of us would love to get a cut, just one, that actually shows up on a chart and that we might hear somebody humming in a supermarket someday. Then there are people like Los Angeles-based writer Amy Powers who have had the kind of success that the rest of us only dream about.

Powers is an Emmy- and Annie-nominated lyricist and melody writer whose songs have appeared in the theater, in animated projects, in Oscar and Tony-winning productions, and much more. She’s provided two dozen songs for Mattel’s series of Barbie movies, and has co-written cuts by the likes of Barbra Streisand, Alabama, Diamond Rio and Christian group Avalon.
