Colin Amey

In the small town of Marmora, Ontario, at the Country Fair, three-year-old Colin Amey won Second Prize in the Annual Junior Talent Show. That was thirty years ago and just the beginning of what would become Colin’s life long passion for music. From there Colin would become the runaway favorite in almost every single talent contest that he participated in.

After spending many of his formative years up in the Yukon Territory, Colin’s mind was set to follow his dream and pursue a music career. The youngest of 3 boys, Colin spent most of his spare time listening to the radio in his bedroom and learning how to play guitar from his older brother, Kevin.

In 1987, the Amey family returned to Ontario. At the age of fifteen, through a mutual friend, Colin was introduced to a Trenton, Ontario based company called B&C Productions, and started singing on numerous studio demos, radio jingles and television advertisements. It wasn’t long before Colin became an accomplished session singer. This eventually led to the release of Colin’s first single, “Gonna Last Forever” in 1990, which scored a top twenty spot on the RPM chart in Canada.

After high school graduation, Colin began fronting many working bands, performing in nightclubs and at music festivals all across the province of Ontario. While developing as an artist, Colin shared the stage with some of Country music’s hottest acts at that time. Among these stars were, Shenandoah, Wade Hayes, Joe Diffie & Pirates of the Mississippi.
