Recently Amy has written the music for the hit 成人快手 One drama 'Keeping Faith' starring Eve Myles. Amy was honoured to have been asked and was sent the scripts which she then used to compose the music that would reflect the lead character's journey throughout the series. Each of the six songs are featured across the episodes and provide an emotional underscore that proved to make a powerful connection between the show's characters and viewers alike.
Amy鈥檚 most notable success to date comes from her long established writing partnership with, Ed Sheeran.

To date, the track has sold over twelve million copies worldwide, has been viewed 1.25 billion time on YouTube and streamed over a billion times on Spotify. In February 2016, the track won two Grammys at the 58th Recording Academy Awards Ceremony, 鈥楽ong of the Year鈥� and 鈥楤est Pop Solo Performance鈥�.
