Amaya's rousing vocals bring a powerful, clear voice to the Canadian scene, and her honest delivery has been described as "a breath of fresh air" by the Barenaked Ladies' Andy Creeggan.. In 2001 she began singing with the band "Uncle Seth", which won a Toronto Independant Music Award for "Best Classic Rock" for their cover of "Both Sides, Now". Now this "lovely voice" (Ron Sexsmith) has returned as a solo artist to showcase her true love country music with a rock twist.
