Amelie Devos was raised in Christchurch, New Zealand, but is now based in Sydney.

Born to a French father, Amelie spent a lot of her childhood travelling between her two far-stretched extended families. Sometimes on the way to France they would stop in places and explore; immersing her in various cultures, societies, and encountering people from all walks of life. This sparked a passion for people and their stories – one could say that this was a crucial catalyst in Amelies pursuit of the performing arts.

Performing in a myriad of amateur shows and concerts in her hometown, it was when she did Jesus Christ Superstar with her High School that she determined that she would do this professionally. With her heart set on attending University in Australia, a spinal injury took her out in her final year of High School. Accepting she would need to take a gap year in order allow her body to heal was not an easy feat, but one she had no choice in and ultimately is grateful for.

After a year of performing, working, and travelling, Amelie got the call that she would spend 2025 studying the Diploma of Musical Theatre at NIDA. She packed up her life not long after and said goodbye to her family to move to The Big Apple (Sydney). She performed in NINE, directed by Dean Drieberg, choreographed by Brendan Yeates, and the NIDA DMT Showcase.
