Amerie Mi Marie Rogers, known professionally as Amerie, is an American singer, songwriter, author, actress, and recording artist known for her soulful rhythm and blues sound infused with touches of funk, soul, hip hop, and pop. Born on January 12, 1980, in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, to a Korean mother and African-American father, her diverse background has contributed to her unique musical style. Amerie gained fame in the early 2000s with her debut album, "All I Have," propelled by the hit single "Why Don't We Fall in Love."

Her success continued with the release of her sophomore album, "Touch," in 2005, which earned her critical acclaim and mainstream recognition—largely due to the infectious hit "1 Thing." The song's blend of go-go-inspired beats and soulful vocals became a chart-topping phenomenon and exemplified Amerie's knack for creating compelling, groove-laden tracks. Amerie's artistry continued to evolve as illustrated in her subsequent albums, "Because I Love It," "In Love & War," and her two-part project "4AM Mulholland" and "After 4AM," showcasing her talent for melding emotive storytelling with experimental R&B sounds.
