AMIRA

HERE'S A SMALL VERSION OF THE STORY

BY LARON BATCHELOR

 

While having dinner at Harlem’s Red Rooster, I overheard a woman say her 1st single comes out October 11. Meet Amira, “My Father is Middle Eastern and my Mother is West African, I  was born and raised in Australia.” She now calls Harlem home. Our conversation covers why she moved to NYC, differences between Australia and America, artists that influenced her world pop style, her favorite NYC neighborhood, when she knew she wanted to be an artist and how she is marketing her album independently.

Q-TIP

GET THE SMALL STORY...

 

After spending a great scenic day driving around my borough of Queens, I jumped on the J train and took an evening stroll through the East Village. I bumped into a true ambassador of Queens, Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest. He was enjoying a stroll as well but was cool enough to share a historic small story about A Tribe Called Quest and the building behind us, CSV CULTURAL CENTER 107 Suffolk Street. Funny, the story was in front of both our faces..Unscripted NYC.
