[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 Nine Network reality show The Block alongside her husband Phill Rankine in 2003.

Four couples, including Dry and Rankine, 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

Through the exposure of her talents on 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 on te ARIA album charts. 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.
