Amy Castle is a Los Angeles native. An only child, she was privately educated at home. Raised from her high chair watching I Love Lucy, Lamb Chop's Play Along, and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Amy was witness to great comedic and musical performances from her earliest memories - one in particular (circa 1994) included memorizing Lucille Ball's entire monologue of Vitameatavegamin, rewinding the VHS tape watching it over and over until she had it down pat, then reciting it to her mother in the kitchen of their Valley Village apartment. Soon after this "performance", Amy's mother enrolled her in a local performing arts Academy to study acting, dance, and singing.
Amy booked her first theatrical audition at the age of 8. She recurred as young Calista Flockhart on the hit FOX series Ally McBeal from 1998-2000. Over the span of 10 years, Amy went to hundreds of auditions, driven to each by her mother, meeting top television casting directors, writers, and producers.
Amy won a 2002 Young Artist Award - Best Performance in a TV Series-Comedy - Guest Starring Young Actress for her role as Andie in Lizzie McGuire. This episode was filmed September 10th-14th 2001 and was one of the only shows to continue production on 9/11/01.
At home, Amy grew up with music all around. Both of her parents writing and recording songs in their home recording studio. Her mother was inspired to write a children's album entitled BALLOONS, which her father produced and recorded as the album's artist. They collaborated with Dick Williams in the writing and arrangement of the new original songs. Of the eleven tracks on the album, three year old Amy sang one herself - a 43 second recording that has since become known and loved around the world as The Cuppycake Song. Amy's dad uploaded the song to the internet in 1996, and soon after, The Cuppycake Song was making its rounds on the early days of the world wide web. The track quickly racked up 1 million audio plays on a third party website, far before the modern viral platforms of YouTube and TikTok. Fast forward 28 years, and The Cuppycake Song is now playing in over 2.8 million videos of TikTok, with millions of plays of Amy's three year old voice every single day.
