Amé

Growing up in a small town in Central Pennsylvania, Amé always knew she was meant for something bigger. Adopted by pastors, Amé was one of the only two black girls in her town. She frequently experienced the microaggressions associated with being part of the minority in a predominantly white town. These experiences fueled her artistic vision and shaped her desire to be heard, understood, and represented. As soon as she was able to, Amé moved to NYC and continued her journey towards artistic enlightenment.  Amé music takes the experiences of her life in small town USA and fuses it with classy, sexy, R&B stylisms. She doesn’t shy away from the opportunity to discuss sexuality, desirability, and the intrinsic need to be understood by one’s peers and self. Encouraged by her love of family, and the inner strength to keep going, Amé sought out and found her birth family. Through this reconnection, she learned about herself in ways she couldn’t have imagined and how music is a part of her identity.
