Amira Unplugged - Help Me Help You Out

Biography

Amira Unplugged is a genre- bending artist who blends orchestral elements with rock-soul, hip hop, funk, country, and pop. Her upbringing as a (d)eaf African American Muslim woman in the South caused her to aspire to make music that unifies. By crossing genre lines with universal themes of triumph, darkness, and hope, Amira aims to bring together vastly different people who typically may not listen to the same music. Her hearing impairment also informs a great deal of her music, causing her to add unique textural elements to her original work. Her tagline “writing the soundtrack to your life“ emphasizes the fact that each piece is created to serve as the backing track of the listener’s most important moments- she views life as a series of short films that need to be scored. Amira’s style caused her to grow exponentially online in a short period of time, leading her to become the first runner up of the inaugural season of “Becoming A Popstar” from MTV and TikTok. Her dedicated following also earned her the title of fan favorite on the program three weeks in a row. She was recently selected as a member of the Pepsi and United Masters Music Lab Class of 2022-2023, and intends to use this platform to spread more positivity through uniquely universal music. In a world where listeners’ playlists are more diverse and eclectic than ever, artists like Amira Unplugged represent what listeners are seeking next.
