Amanie Illfated is a South Sudanese Canadian Afropop/R&B singer/songwriter and model. By incorporating her past refugee experiences in her music, she touches on themes of empowerment, depression, and self-improvement. I talk to Amanie about leaving her family in Saskatchewan at 16 to pursue music in Toronto, working through her PTSD and trauma to create meaningful music, and being a closeted Juggalo (an Insane Clown Posse fan).
