Since releasing her heartfelt debut album, “Read Me Write” in 2019, BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year finalist Amy Papiransky’s career has gone from strength to strength. A classically trained and infinitely talented multi-instrumentalist with folk roots, Singer/Songwriter Amy quickly caught the attention of BRIT Award winning Musician KT Tunstall. In 2021, with the support of Tunstall’s management team, Amy released follow-up singles, sublime piano ballad “Dear Amy” and the jazz-infused “Summertime Blues”, garnering praise from radio and press, the latter being named as BBC Radio Scotland’s ’Single of the Week’. “A bit of Dolly and a bit of Carole King with the piano, and a real tie in with good country writing over her stunning Scottish accent!” – BRIT and Ivor Novello Award Winning Singer/Songwriter KT Tunstall Originally from Keith in the North-East of Scotland, Amy has continued to hone her craft on the live music scene, playing several high-profile festivals across the UK - including HebCelt, Belladrum, Edinburgh Fringe and Cambridge Folk Festival, as well as headlining King Tut’s, Glasgow and PJ Molloys, Dundee. She has also supported fellow touring artists, including KT Tunstall, Jill Jackson, Blue Rose Code, Boo Hewerdine and Cammy Barnes. Between juggling gigging and her day job as a High School Music Teacher, Glasgow-based Amy has found time to write and record her much-anticipated follow-up album, working alongside a stellar set of collaborators. Produced by Damien O’Kane, the album features a host of exciting guest appearances which will be announced soon. A young woman with plenty to say, Amy is looking forward to sharing this collection of uplifting folk songs and effortless ballads which tell tales of love, loss, heartbreak, resilience, and strength. "Amy’s deep understanding and passion for music shines out in her solo work, showcasing intelligent yet accessible pop mastery” - PRS for Music. Lead single “Pencil Me In” is about a relationship where one partner is constantly wishing the other would make more time for them and prioritise what they have, instead of only showing any real attention when they hit a rough patch. The line ‘So erase me from your mind, my darling’ is the realisation that things cannot continue as they are, and, in order to break the painful repetitive cycle, the relationship must end. “Pencil Me In” is released on 5th July and is taken from Amy’s forthcoming album due for release in October.
