Amy S. Foster

Amy S. Foster (Amy Foster-Gillies),(born July 29, 1973) is a Canadian songwriter and author.

Career

The Nashville Scene describes Foster as a "successful songwriter" whose songs had "hit the No.1 slot" 3 times by 2009.[1]

Best known for her collaborations with Michael Buble, Foster has co-written "Home", "Everything", "Hold On", "Just Haven't Met You Yet", To Be Loved, and "Beautiful Day".[2] Her songs have also been cut by Blake Shelton, Destiny's Child, Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli.[1]

Foster claims that when Bublé sent her an early draft of Home her first thoughts were, "Oh, great, complain about being stuck in Europe," nevertheless, she related to the idea of missing someone, and agreed to help write the song.[3]

Her first book, When Autumn Leaves, was published in 2009.[1][4][5] The reviewer in Booklist wrote that, "the romantic, mystical setting and appealing characters will delight readers searching for a modern-day fairy tale."[6]

She is the daughter of record producer and songwriter David Foster and BJ Cook.
