Amelia Presley is an Americana singer-songwriter based in Texas.  Born in Mobile, AL and raised just over the state line in Mississippi, Amelia grew up in the Gulf Coast community of Franklin Creek, where many Finnish immigrants like her grandmother’s family settled.  South Mississippi inspires a melting pot of musical sounds from Blues to Country and Rock, but Amelia attributes the inspiration behind her unique style to her father. 

Amelia’s voice is emotional and powerful, combining Southern Rock grit and twang with a bluesy growl that can only come from pain acquired with a hard life.  Amelia’s complex lyrics leave room for the imagination.  Those with similar life experiences find it easier to decode the messages in her songs.  This has given her the opportunity to connect with survivors and ‘imperfect’ people like herself. 

While enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard, Amelia released her debut LP, No Pony Ride.  After her military discharge, Amelia released the singles, Get Lucky and Hard Headed Mama.   

In 2020, Amelia released Empty Case, and re-released Get Lucky before releasing a song she wrote about the childhood abuse she suffered at the hands of her adopted mother called Harm Nobody Else.  American Songwriter described the song as “the sound of a phoenix rising, breaking its chains and shedding its shackles along the way.”  Harm Nobody Else was played on radio stations worldwide.  Ben Ryan from 95.9FM The Ranch in Fort Worth, Texas noted that “The first time [he] played Harm Nobody Else on radio, people were calling and texting [him] asking ‘who is this and where can I find this song?’”    

After taking time off following Harm Nobody Else, Amelia is thrilled to announce the release of her second studio EP, Coyote Howl, available everywhere on July 6, 2023.  "This EP is all about acceptance of myself after a short hiatus following the release of my most personal song written to date, Harm Nobody Else.  I needed to regroup after talking publicly about very personal details surrounding that single.  Healing looks different for everyone.  Discovering a more healed version of myself was part of the journey, and Coyote Howl is the page I'm on now”, said Amelia.  Amelia Presley seeks to inspire hope to other artists and creators to keep pushing forward for what they feel they were born to do despite adversity while being unapologetically true to themselves.
