Formally educated in the performing arts (BM SUNY Fredonia, MALS University of Memphis Opera Program), Amy-Lin is no stranger to the stage and spotlight. Well versed in Musical theatre roles and a passionate songwriter, she has found her creative stride again, now that grown children have flown the nest. This perspective of a life fully lived, and not near finished, supplies a rich vocabulary of experience to draw from as an artist.
““We think of Sheryl Crow, Natalie Maines, those artists who knew how to talk about their lives without ever reducing them to a postcard.”

“Known 3 yrs. Seen 24 hrs. arrives as a bold statement in an era where many claim that lyrical depth and narrative complexity have become obsolete. . . [the song] stands as compelling evidence that authenticity, specificity, and genuine human emotion remain the most powerful tools in any songwriter’s arsenal. In an age of algorithmic music creation and AI-generated content, Slezak reminds us why human stories, told by human voices, will always matter.”
Buddy Nelson, Jamsphere Magazine, 7/29/25
“There’s a richness in her songwriting that comes, not from overproduction, but from attention to the emotional texture of memory. She writes like someone who lived it and sings like someone still feeling the aftershocks. . . In an era where storytelling often takes a back seat to trend, Amy-Lin Slezak is holding firm. Known 3 Yrs. Seen 24 Hrs. doesn’t just revisit the past, it reframes it with grace,
grit, and undeniable style”
Pulse Hutch, 8/3/25
“It takes real control to deliver vocals that are technically steady and emotionally charged, and she strikes that balance beautifully. Her phrasing makes the lyrics feel like an intimate confession, words tumbling quickly like thoughts you can’t hold back.”
Edgar Allan Poets, 7/30/25
“How Dare She is a track that carries its message with
strength and style. Amy-Lin Slezak steps forward as a voice
with something to say—and the confidence to say it with
clarity and soul. This isn’t just a well-written tune; it invites
you in and keeps you there.“. ~ Edgar Allan Poets
“Amy-Lin Slezak's "To Grow Old" is a powerful anthem! 📷 She's taking a stand against unrealistic beauty standards for women as they age, especially on social media.📷
