Responsible for many of Evanescence’s hard hitting lyrics and is the main songwriter on the new album, [[The Open Door]]. Amy provides the image for the band and does most of the interviews. Ben Moody discovered Amy Lee’s voice in summer camp in 1994 when she performed a few lines of Meatloaf’s ''"I'd Do Anything For Love."'' After that, the rest is history. She is currently one of the most popular and sought after voices in music today.

Lee has a trademark neo-goth style, marked by her use of gothic make-up and taste for Victorian-styled clothing (her favorite era of time). She dyes her hair jet black though her hair is actually darkish brown. Her eyes are greyish blue but she is roumored to use blue contacts. She also designs many of her own clothes, including those worn in the music video for Going Under 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,<ref name="MTVleegrammys">[http://www.mtv.com/news/grammys/2004/backstage.jhtml?id=amylee&c=7 Amy Lee - Instant Fashion Profile] - MTV News</ref> although she does sometimes make her own clothes. In concerts, she often wears a corset and fishnets. Amy used to have a notable piercing on her left eyebrow which she has 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). <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.
 
==Out of the Shadows==
In 2005, Amy became a spokesperson for the Epilepsy Foundation and launched a campaign called [http://www.outoftheshadows.com 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.
 
==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 Korn's 2007 [[MTV Unplugged: Korn|MTV Unplugged]] album on the track 'Freak On A Leash'. The song was also released as the first single.
 
==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 a physical piano on the inside. She also uses a stand-alone Baldwin keyboard and [http://www.shure.com/index.htm Shure Microphones].
