Amica was an Australian pop ensemble focused on children aged between 6 and 12 years. Their album Life is Fun received a nomination for the ARIA Award for Best Children's Album in 2004.

Initially formed as a quartet consisting of Merrity 'Mez' Murphy, Natalie 'Nat' Strother, Daniella 'Dan' Taliangis, and Kristina 'Kris' Visocchi (formerly Karhunen), they launched their debut single "Life Is Fun" in 2003, which entered the ARIA singles chart at position #90. After Mez departed in mid-2003, the group proceeded as a trio. Later that year, their follow-up single "Rock Star" reached #80 on the charts. The full album Life is Fun was released in April 2004. By the middle of 2004, Brandie had joined replacing Dan, but the band dissolved in July of the same year.
