ABOUT
AMA IZIIAN
[pronounced: ah - mah * izi - yen]
With his presence in NYC as a writer/producer/musician and connected to the rise of a couple stars; AMA ( Iziian, a childhood nickname ) steps-out on his own and emerges as a real contender; Prepare to burn out your headphones & speakers
On his debut ep WOKE, AMA risks it all to lay out his Roxxstaa Red Carpet sound for the world to hear. Producing, writing and playing all the instruments - you get a rough beat knocking, hard guitar-driven, electro soulful sound from a front man with great influence + a super stardom flow
"If this were a competitive sport; AMA would be
Bruno Mars + Childish Gambino vs Travis Scott + Prince
with Led Zeppelin as referee.."
New York City Native; born & raised
*All songs/instruments produced, played, written & sung by AMA
