Kuney has posted covers of songs by Joni Mitchell, Damien Rice, P!nk, Fleetwood Mac, Coldplay, Jace Everett, Patty Griffin, and Sam Sparro.
[2] When she was 13, Kuney's father moved the family from their home in Oklahoma to Honduras to live as missionaries after he saw a video highlighting the destruction of Hurricane Mitch.
Other placements include: NBC's The Blacklist, HBO's Looking, Netflix's Hemlock Grove, FOX's So You Think You Can Dance, and advertisements for Macy's, Kleenex, and Pandora.
[14] The compilation included music by LCD Soundsystem, Phoenix, Silversun Pickups, Vampire Weekend, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, amongst others.
On September 7, 2017, Kelly Clarkson released “Move You,” co-written by Amy Kuney, as a promo single from her forthcoming album Meaning of Life.
Said album would see release on October 27, 2017 featuring a second co-written track from Kuney titled “Slow Dance.” AMES signed with a new record label, Mateo Sound, in January 2018.
The single art as well as the article headline were quickly picked up by several of Kuney's peers, including Michelle Branch and Molly Kate Kestner, as well as several other online publications such as Nylon Magazine and music blog Indie Shuffle.
[19] The final single from the forthcoming EP was released on March 29 titled "Mama, It's Me" as a tender ballad to a worried mother assuring her that her child is grown, safe, and found love.
[21] She would also have an in-studio appearance for Logo performing “Mama, It’s Me” and “Hold On.” [22] In 2019, Ames collaborated with Tim Myers on a project called "AROWS" signed to Position Music.
Since the project was released, songs from their debut EP have been featured on a third season episode of Siesta Key, Selling Sunset, and worldwide Samsung Galaxy product campaigns.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Mateo Sound dissolved and Amy returned to producing and releasing her music independently while exploring other projects and expanding her songwriting credits.
