She’s had her fair share of pinch-me moments interviewing some of the biggest names in entertainment but for Angela Bishop, seeing her daughter collaborate with Kasey Chambers is up there as one of her most cherished memories.

“It was such a special day,” Ange, 54, says of the time her 14-year-old daughter Amelia participated in a writing camp with the country music superstar earlier this year.

“Kasey was just so nurturing, and she gave such great advice on how to navigate this industry and how to stay true to yourself.”

Talking of the camp, Amelia, a singer-songwriter who has dreams of one day pursuing a career in music, says it opened her eyes to the industry and made her fall in love with the craft even more.

“It was so much fun. We learned a lot about the structure on how to make songs. We learned how [Kasey] made Not Pretty Enough, and how it’s not just about making songs that people want to hear, but to make it really unique,” she tells Woman’s Day.
