Amelia Presley (born 1989) is a singer-songwriter of Outlaw Country. She has nearly 100 songs written and a 10 song album released. Presley enlisted in the United States Coast Guard in October of 2010 and was discharged in August of 2015. In that time, she received orders to six different units, resulting in a range of songs incorporating experiences from each of those places. Prior to joining the military, she grew up on a farm in Franklin Creek, MS. From an early age, she aspired to follow in the footsteps of her cousin, Elvis Presley. She began writing songs as soon as she was able to write and would memorize the melodies. After joining the Coast Guard, she was first stationed at Air Station New Orleans, Louisiana and began to pursue music heavily. She first recorded a song she wrote called "Silver Tongue" in Kenner, Louisiana. In 2012, she began recording her debut album in Nashville, Tennessee. Shortly after recording acoustic versions of the first three songs, Presley received orders to Machinery Technician "A" School in Yorktown, Virginia. Determined to finish recording, she drove all night from Virginia to Tennessee to make it to a 10:00am recording session. After recording all day, she returned to Virginia. This concluded the acoustic album temporarily named "Backwoods Love Story", but she felt it necessary to re-record with a full band. In 2013, after being stationed at Coast Guard Station Wachapreague, Virginia, she sold her horse and horse trailer to afford recording fees for the full band recording session. After nights of sleeping in a truck on the way to Nashville and a horse sold, the album was fully recorded. The album name was changed to "No Pony Ride" in honor of the horse sold to afford the album and in reference to a lyric in the song, "Southern Vacation". She began performing with another active duty Singer-Songwriter and her album was featured on a radio station on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Shortly before discharging from the military, she toured with Country Music legend, Ronnie McDowell and continues to play locally. She is in the process of recording her second album.[1]
