Many fans praise Lee for her refusal to emulate other celebrities by using sex appeal in her music. She has stated on a number of occasions that she would never flash her breasts or engage in other publicity stunts that would draw attention to herself. In fact, in the music video for [[Everybody's Fool]], she aimed to mock such artists by suggesting celebrities who use sex to appeal to an audience are, in fact, merely peddling "lies" (the unifying theme of the music video).<ref name=VH1>Moss, Corey.

In her personal life, she enjoys being a girl. Her clothing style is quirky and marked by her frequent use of not-so-goth clothes (she stated in an interview with AOL that she was wearing "something floral"). She explains it as a professional thing, saying that her image onstage is so different from her normal clothes because it completes the image; if she were to come out onstage in pink boots and a track suit and sing about despair, it would totally ruin the image.

== Style ==
== Social efforts ==
Lee, the principal lyricist and composer of [[Evanescence]], employs simple yet expressive melodies that stand alone or intertwine with accompanying guitars. Many melodies involve a sub melody or return to a base note or sequence, as in the choruses of "[[Good Enough]]," "[[Breathe No More]]," and the live Korn cover "[[Thoughtless]]" as well as the intro and bridge of "[[Imaginary]]," among others.  Many of the piano parts are comprised of melodies with minimal chords and left-hand accompaniment, both when played with guitar parts ("[[Lithium]]," "[[Like You]]," "[[Your Star]]," "[[Going Under]]," "[[Thoughtless]]," among others) and alone or featured with minimal backing ("[[Lithium]]," "[[Lose Control]]," "[[The Only One]]," "[[Good Enough]]," "[[Bring Me To Life]]," "[[Imaginary]]," "[[Taking Over Me]]," "[[Hello]]," "[[Breathe No More]]," "[[Thoughtless]]," among others).
=== Out of the Shadows ===
In 2005, Amy became a spokesperson for the Epilepsy Foundation and launched a campaign called [[Out of the Shadows]].

Her husband, [[Josh Hartzler]], has a counseling background. Amy was wearing a T-shirt of the movement on November 12, 2007, in Nissan Live on Yahoo! Music.


===Range===
=== UN Haiti Relief Effort ===
Lee has an impressive recorded vocal range, stretching from Eb3 (“[[Cloud Nine]],” 0:01/0:04) to E6 ("During a Warm Up," 2:46/2:51). On an MTV Diary special, Lee is shown warming up for a show where she sings a D#6 (4:35/4:37, as timed from the beginning of the [[Evanescence]] section), giving her an exhibited range three octaves and one semitone.

Amy Lynn Hartzler (née Lee, born December 13, 1981 in Riverside, California) is the co-founder and lead singer of Evanescence. Her family moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, Rockford, Illinois, and finally stopped in Little Rock, Arkansas. Responsible for many of Evanescence’s hard hitting lyrics and is the main songwriter of the band. Amy provides the image for the band and does most of the interviews. Ben Moody discovered Amy Lee in summer camp in 1994 when she played Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and two measures of Meatloaf songs on the piano.[1] After that, the rest is history.

Image

Signature of Amy Lee

Lee has no trademark style with the "Faux Gothic". She dyed her hair jet black, though her hair is actually light brown. Her current hair color is red, after she dyed it in April 2013.[2] She also designs many of her own clothes, including those worn in the music video for "Going Under"[3] and the dress she wore at the 2004 Grammy awards. After she designed it, she chose Japanese designer H. Naoto to make it for her,[4] although she does sometimes make her own clothes. In concerts, she used to often wear a corset and fishnets, but she has abandoned corsets in the latest 2011-12 Evanescence album tour. Amy used to have a notable piercing on her left eyebrow which she had taken out and had re-pierced a few times, but she took it out for good sometime in mid-2005.

Many fans praise Lee for her refusal to emulate other celebrities by using sex appeal in her music. She has stated on a number of occasions that she would never flash her breasts or engage in other publicity stunts that would draw attention to herself. In fact, in the music video for Everybody's Fool, she aimed to mock such artists by suggesting celebrities who use sex to appeal to an audience are, in fact, merely peddling "lies" (the unifying theme of the music video).[5]

In her personal life, she enjoys being a girl. Her clothing style is quirky and marked by her frequent use of not-so-goth clothes (she stated in an interview with AOL that she was wearing "something floral"). She explains it as a professional thing, saying that her image onstage is so different from her normal clothes because it completes the image; if she were to come out onstage in pink boots and a track suit and sing about despair, it would totally ruin the image.

Kerrang magazine readers voted her #1 Sexiest Rock Woman with Hayley Williams from Paramore coming in 2nd.

Amy Lee was honored with the National Music Publishers' Association Songwriter Icon Award for 2008. She recieved the award on June 18 in New York City.[6] This award is very privileged as only one person gets it per year out of the whole music industry. She also performed for them. The Icon Award recognizes outstanding songwriters for personal achievement and who personify the vision of NMPA and the goals of its members. Former recipients include Jimmy Webb and Neil Sedaka.

Amy Lee attended the Betsey Johnson Spring 2009 Fashion Show. The event was not in 2009 (of course). It was held in 2008. She was there with Kelly Osbourne.

Social efforts

Out of the Shadows

In 2005, Amy became a spokesperson for the Epilepsy Foundation and launched a campaign called Out of the Shadows. The goal is to help spread awareness about epilepsy and to encourage people to not discriminate against people with epilepsy. This campaign is important to Amy, as well as her family, because her younger brother has epilepsy and she has seen first hand the effect it has.

To Write Love in Her Arms

Amy is supporting To Write Love on Her Arms, a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. Her husband, Josh Hartzler, has a counseling background. Amy was wearing a T-shirt of the movement on November 12, 2007, in Nissan Live on Yahoo! Music.

UN Haiti Relief Effort

On January 22nd, 2010, Amy announced on her Twitter account the release of "Together Again" to the public, after the Haiti earthquake events - "Today @Evanescence is releasing a new song, Together Again, and the proceeds are going to help Haiti! Details to follow!". If you were to donate at least five dollars or more, you would receive this song. According to Amy, the song successfully raised over $31,000 in its first week of availability.

Restore Freedom

In 2010 and 2012, Amy supported Restore Freedom to help the campaign against sex trafficking and for the construction of the first "safehouse" in NY, to host the victims of sex trafficking. in the Restore Freedom official website, Amy has a personal page where it's still possible making a donation to support the project. The campaign raised over 125,000$.

Other Appearances

In 2000, Amy sang guest vocals on David Hodges' songs "Breathe" (The Summit Church: Summit Worship CD) and unreleased song of his called "Fall Into You".

She did back up vocals on Big Dismal's song "Missing You" off of their 2003 debut release CD, Believe.

Did some vocals on the Underworld soundtrack in 2003 but after some issues with her record label her voice was never used. Her name still appears in the credits though.

Amy is featured on Seether's song "Broken". The song was released as a single in 2004 and can be found on The Punisher soundtrack and on Seether's Disclaimer II album.

She appears on KoЯn's 2007 MTV Unplugged album on the track "Freak On A Leash". The song was also released as the first single.

She sang "Epiphany" with Aaron Lewis from Staind, at My Coke Fest 2007 held in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Amy also appeared with Finger Eleven live.

In 2008, Amy Lee made a remake of the song "Sally's Song" from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). The cover is featured on the Nightmare Revisited soundtrack which was released in September 2008 in the U.S and 27th October in the U.K., published by Walt Disney Records.

Amy covered the song "Halfway Down the Stairs" for the album Muppets: The Green Album, released on August 23, 2011.

Tools of the Trade

On tour, Amy uses a Baldwin baby grand piano with a keyboard insert (a baby grand piano shell with an electronic keyboard instead of an acoustic piano on the inside). She also uses a stand-alone Baldwin keyboard and Shure Microphones. She has used a Kurzweil and a Yamaha digital piano during the Fallen Tour. She's also been using a Roland RD-700sx keyboard since 2009.

At the 50th Grammy Awards, Amy disclosed that she was working hard learning the harp, practicing two hours a day.

MySpace & Facebook

Amy Lee does not have a personal MySpace page or Facebook profile. There are several impostor pages on both sites claiming to be Amy Lee. They are not real.[7]

She has also stated this again in October 2009 in a response to a user on Twitter:

Vin1.jpg Glad you asked! No, this is my only Twitter. I also do NOT have a personal facebook or myspace page, those are all false. Vin2.jpg


Twitter

Amy has a Twitter account, created September 22, 2009, with the nickname of AmyLeeEV. With this profile Amy keeps fans updated about news. She revealed this writing this post on EvThreads:

Vin1.jpg Hey guys!

I can't believe I'm saying this but.....
I've decided to try out the twitter thing. I think it might be a fun way to stay in touch better and I know I need to announce myself on here because there are so many other 'me's.' My name on twitter is AmyLeeEv. I can't guarantee I'll have anything interesting to say but if you're really bored and need a distraction, why not follow me? Actually, I think I haven an idea for my first tweet. How about I spill the first little surprise I've been holding onto? See you there!
