Amaarae, whose real name is Ama Serwah Genfi, is a rising Ghanaian-American singer, songwriter, and music producer known for her eclectic sound that blends R&B, neo-soul, hip-hop, and afro-fusion. Born on July 4, 1994, in New York and raised between Ghana and the United States, Amaarae's music embodies a cross-cultural mix that is as varied as her upbringing, appealing to a global audience with its boundary-pushing approach to sound and style.

Her career began to garner significant attention with the release of her debut EP "Passionfruit Summers" in 2017, but it was her album "THE ANGEL YOU DON'T KNOW" in 2020 that marked a milestone, showcasing her distinct falsetto and sonically daring production. Amaarae’s tracks like “LEAVE ME ALONE” and “FANCY” are anthems for the carefree, while her global hit “SAD GIRLZ LUV MONEY” featuring Moliy, and further remixed with Kali Uchis, highlights her ability to create infectious grooves that resonate with listeners worldwide. Her involvement with the "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Prologue" underscores her rising influence and the recognition of her talent in larger creative projects. Amaarae continues to carve out a unique niche in the music industry, becoming a symbol of innovation and diversity in modern music.
