GLOBAL HYBRID
Award-winning singer-songwriter Amirah is on a mission to unite people through her music.
Growing up in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Amirah was constantly exposed to the juxtapositions of different cultures and viewpoints. This exposure to diversity framed who Amirah is today as an artist, songwriter and human being. As an innovative artist, Amirah fuses traditional instruments and music with cinematic pop to create a unique East meets West sound.
One of Amirah's greatest gifts is her ability to breathe new life into traditional music, making it sound vital and fresh to the ears of a younger generation. She hopes this unique East meets West sound will make traditional music more appealing and relevant to the youth and accomplishes her ultimate goal in uniting people together.
With a warm unique voice that is subtle yet enticing, her music draws you into the quiet bravery seen in her lyrics. Her songs call out for diversity, equality, acceptance and unity not only through her lyrical content, but also through her music arrangements.
Amirah is in the studio with Grammy award-winning producer Jeff Bova recording her debut album. The lead single is the inspirational lyrical prayer "You Are My Land". Continuing her quest for unity, she has also released the dramatic single "Tell Me". The songs on her cinematic global pop album will feature her signature East meets West sound of traditional instruments blended with cinematic pop. More determined than ever to spread her message of unity, Amirah looks forward to sharing her unique brand of music with the world.
“We truly believe that Amirah is the one musician who is going to unite the country with her songs and amazing lyrics, which are mostly about unity and about the people. Even her performance and musical ensemble is a clash of cultures and there is a ray of hope that she will be the voice of the new generation.”
