From her studio in Miami to stages across the world, Amal Nemer brings an undeniable energy and emotional connection to her craft. In this conversation, she shares her journey from architecture to music, explaining how her creative instincts and love for sound led her to become a DJ and producer known for blending Arabic roots with modern tech house grooves. Her breakout came in 2021 with her debut track, signed by the legendary Nervous Records, which unexpectedly launched her career into motion.

 

Amal reflects on her early fears of performing live, recalling her trembling hands during her first show and how pushing through that fear became transformative. She credits her dedication, discipline, and belief in finishing every project as key to her evolution as an artist. Her music, often inspired by emotion and nostalgia, channels both her cultural background and her personal experiences. Tracks like Burning embody her philosophy that music has the power to heal, uplift, and unite people beyond language barriers.

 

Discussing her process, Amal emphasizes living life as an essential ingredient for creativity. Yoga, paddle sports, and time with friends help her recharge and remain grounded. She believes consistency, self-discipline, and living in the moment are vital to sustaining happiness and artistic flow.

 

Looking ahead, Amal’s ambition continues to grow, from her Manifest events to sharing stages with icons like Carl Cox. Her message to fans is clear: keep creating, never give up, and always chase joy through your passion.
