Born and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida, Amy Nickler began playing the violin at age six. Six years later she switched to the double bass and has loved it ever since. She would have never discovered her love of music without the help from the public magnet school programs. In recent years, Amy has participated as a member and fellow in several festivals and orchestras such as the The Cincinnati Symphony, The Chautauqua Symphony, The South Florida Symphony, The Orchestra NOW, Oslo Kammerakademi, Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, and among various others. In July 2016, Amy was a winner of the Concerto Competition honoring Ida Haendel with the opportunity to perform as a soloist in the New World Center with the Miami Music Festival Orchestra.

Aside from performing, Amy enjoys her time as a teaching artist for the Nat King Cole Generation Hope, Inc and for the Music Festival by the Volta Music Foundation in Havana, Cuba. Amy received her Bachelor of Music Degree at Lynn Conservatory in 2017 with professor Timothy Cobb and she received her Master of Music Degree at Yale University with Professor Donald Palma in 2019. Amy is currently pursuing an Artist Diploma with Professor Owen Lee as a Diversity Fellow at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music.
