Amie Street was an indie online music store and social network service created in 2006 by Brown University seniors Elliott Breece, Elias Roman, and Joshua Boltuch, in Providence, Rhode Island.

[6] Founded in early 2006, Amie Street opened to the public with a pre-alpha version on July 4, 2006, and was quickly scooped by Michael Arrington of TechCrunch.

On August 5, 2007, Amie Street announced a site redesign and, led by Amazon.com, closed their Series A round of venture capital funding.

[5] Notable angel investors include Robin Richards, former president of MP3.com[10] and David Hirsch, director of Google's B2B vertical markets group.

[17] On May 15, 2007, the web series lonelygirl15 teamed up with Amie Street to sell music featured in episodes of the show.

Amie Street launched a Facebook Application in October 2007 called Fantasy Record Label.

Songs were ranked and as their score changed, each user's label would gain or lose points.

[26][27] On July 29, 2008, Amie Street expanded the program with the exclusive release of You & Me an album by NYC indie rock band The Walkmen, giving proceeds to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

These include Rolling Stone,[31] The Wall Street Journal,[32] BusinessWeek,[4] NPR,[33] The Washington Post,[34] Los Angeles Times,[35] Entertainment Weekly,[36] TechCrunch,[37] Boing Boing,[38] Ars Technica,[39] and Wired.

[40] In March 2008, the site received additional attention because of the availability of two singles by Ashley Alexandra Dupré, the call girl at the center of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal.

An unsigned singer, her single "Move Ya Body" set a record[41] for how fast it commanded the top price on the site following Dupré's identity as the call girl "Kristen" being revealed by The New York Times on March 12, 2008.
