Josh Hartzler and Amy Lee at the Anna Sui Spring 2008 Collection.

Josh Hartzler is Amy Lee's husband. He was born on November 4, 1977 and works as a therapist. He is also a photographer. He took Amy's promotional pictures for the 2009 shows[1][2] and the album cover for Evanescence's fifth studio album, The Bitter Truth.[3]

He was an inspiration for Evanescence songs Bring Me to Life, Taking Over Me and Good Enough.[4][5]

He began a relationship with Amy around November 2005.[6] Amy told in an interview that she ran into him at a party and wrote Good Enough two weeks later: "I waited until it was done then I played it for him. I knew I would be really nervous -- way more nervous than playing in front a huge crowd. He loved it."[7]

Josh and Amy were engaged on January 8, 2007. The next day, Amy confirmed their engagement during a live broadcast of Canadian show MuchMusic.[8][9] They got married on May 6, 2007 at Amy's family home in Little Rock, Arkansas, and lived in New York for 13 years before moving to Nashville, Tennessee in 2019.[10][11]

Josh is credited with co-writing the lyrics for David Hodges' solo album Musical Demonstrations Pt.1, including the songs Crowd Of Me, Fly, and Thursday.[12]. He also has a co-writing credit on Daughtry's last single off his Daughtry album, What About Now, which was co-written by Ben Moody and David Hodges. He has writing credits on Trading Yesterday songs: She Is The Sunlight and Elizabeth from their 2004 debut album, The Beauty & The Tragedy,[13] and Revolution, My Last Goodbye, and Come Back To Me from their second album, More Than This.[14] Another co-writing credit is on Skillet's "Hard To Find" from their 2013 album, Rise, along with David Hodges.[15]

Josh made a brief appearance on the Making of Fallen video.

In 2008, he gave Amy a harp as a gift.[16]

On January 18, 2014, Amy announced that she and Josh are expecting their first child together.[17] Jack Lion Hartzler was born on July 24, 2014, with the announcement of his arrival four days later.[18]

In 2016, he was credited for co-writing the songs The End of the Book and If You're a Star on Amy's children's album, Dream Too Much.[19] The album was inspired by their son, Jack.
