AMORA

An Artist like and unlike any other, Amora was born a Capri-Quarius and only child to a young couple that would shortly thereafter be divorced. She was raised primarily in Middletown, Connecticut in an old church converted into a two-family home, living with most of her extended family, including three Mary’s: her mother, grandmother and aunt. No person was held in higher esteem than her grandfather, a historically famous decorated war hero, published writer, political activist and entrepreneur. Times were by no means easy financially or emotionally, but she always had the music in her soul to guide her through and the belief in love, destiny, truths, and possibilities of life.

From choral groups to musicals to recitals to acting performances to talent shows to national television appearances, as early as three she knew every word to every song on the radio, and has been performing since she was seven (rapping since she was 12). Simply taking a look through her music collection would be the easiest way to take a glimpse into her musical inspirations. From Hip-Hop, Pop, Freestyle, Urban Dance/Trance, Rock and Heavy Metal, to timeless Singer/Songwriters, Classical, and Jazzthe list goes on and on. What she brings to the industry is true love for the music that saved her life. She gives special inspirational thanks to 2Pac, Aaliyah, R. Kelly, Mariah, Mary J., Pearl Jam and Cypress Hill. To say growing up with so many influences makes her versatile is an understatement; just call her a renaissance woman.

She carries with her the strong conviction that where you come from is the key to each person’s life. Since the moment of her birth, she has been actively involved in entertaining and dramatic ventures, both professionally and personally. Through it all she has never lost touch with the individual she was born to be, despite her yin and yang internal battle. Born with the mentality to acknowledge the truth behind words and actions, her compassionate and fierce heart has often spoken up against injustice and prejudice. Stillvanity, deceit, greed and evil seemed to be lurking all around and inside her, until one day she awoke to faith and enlightenment, this was not long after her graduation from college and arrival in New York City. She discovered the courage to expose her RAP style in Harlem. With an inherent ability to understand the streets, it was then she discovered that through her artistry and experiences she would be able to expose humankind to the secrets hidden in their souls. Her hope is that one day people will be able to embrace their differences and exist positively as one human race.

She is a young tough female that has lived many lives, with skeletons in her closet, mistakes made along the way, and struggles she has been through. Now is the time for her to give back the gifts she has been given, with her hope of playing a large part in helping to heal, teach, and bring together the people of the world. Her destiny is no better than any other; it is simply unique. Her lyrics have a truth in a day and age where so few rarely speak it. True to her outlandish and gregarious personality, it seems inevitable that this nationally exposed, faithful, tenacious, endearing and strong woman will achieve anything she sets her mind to. She is a “Diamond in the Rough” and the world is her stage. Only time will tell

Played live throughout NYC and Northeast, across the country in various spots like Chicago, LA, DC... Appeared on "Showtime at the Apollo" and "Oprah". There are always special moments in this biz that make you grow, test your spirit and teach you to combat the haters!

Every sound my ears have heard have influenced me to be the versatile performer I am. No one does me better than me!! Music has saved my life! Especially, I give props to Tupac Shakur, Mariah, Aaliyah, Tina Turner, Lionel Richie, Pearl Jam, Cypress Hill, The Roots, Cher and Mary J Blige!! God Bless the music and ones in it who truly make a positive difference!
