[edit] Early career
At just five years old she started studying music and piano and performing on stage. She began writing original songs when she was twelve and was accepted into a performing arts school at sixteen.
[edit] The Block
Amity got her big break after appearing on the Australian reality show The Block. Four couples, including Dry and her husband Phil, lived in and renovated a run down apartment block. When they had finished, the apartments were auctioned off individually, and the couples got whatever money they made over the reserve price. Amity and Phil came in last.
[edit] Music career
She was recognized in the Australian TV Show The Block, which she stared on with her husband Phill Rankie. Due to the success of the show, Amity gained a record contract and released the album The Lighthouse during the media promotion for the show. It debuted at number six. The only song released as a CD single was "Start of Something New" where it went to peak at number eighty-one. After taking a break from the music scene, she returned in 2005 with an independently released album True to Me, which to date did not chart on the ARIA charts. Amity gave birth to baby Jamison on April 2, 2006. She has stated that she would like to release an album of nursery rhymes.
