In my own words:
Hi everyone, it’s Amore’. Thank you so very much for all of the love and support that you have shown thus far. I’ve had an amazing debut release because of you. Thank you for allowing me to be me an appreciating my music. Growing up in a single parent home taught me how to be creative and make the most of what I had, but most importantly it taught me to be thankful. Though we had some tough times there was one thing that I had an abundance of… That thing is called love. I had so much love surrounding me that it blurred out all of the things that were missing when I was small. Things such as a father figure, that was a huge issue for me. It’s no longer an issue because God is the ultimate father. He’s loved me unconditionally and has never failed me or stood me up. I can’t ask for anything more. God has fixed places in me that I didn’t even realize was broken. It may sound strange to you but until you’ve walked through your testimony; you wouldn’t understand. I am a writer as well as an artist. My music comes from my heart. It’s not always “feel good” music but it’s always real! I write from my heart and my experiences. I want to use the platform that God has blessed me with to encourage and uplift people. Rather I make you laugh, dance, smile, clap…I am happy as long as I can encourage you to be the best that you can be.
Being an independent artist is very rewarding but can be very trying at times. Without the support of fans and supporters there is no me. So please continue to visit my website…BUY DIRECT meaning order my music directly here on my website and support me direct. Each cd that you purchase goes toward helping me to continue to make the music that you love. Real talk, it’s difficult being indie because we don’t have big budgets to work with. We rely solely on support from our fans. You guys have been amazing thus far. My sophomore album is available for download now. It’s a must have. Until the next time I love you guys!
God Bless,
Amore’
