About Me

Singer/songwriter/actor/model AMARU was born in and partially raised in South America. He is currently residing in The Netherlands, Europe.While music is AMARU's first love, it was his acting career that took off first in 1996, when he was cast to portray the late Luciano Pavarotti in a game show promo. After that he starred in many independent feature films, many commercials, he also did some print work and lent his voice to a couple of animated films.One of his critically acclaimed animated shorts is 'Be HIV Free: The story of Bobo'. The film is about the AIDS epidemic and was meant for educational purposes to children mostly in Africa. After the huge success of part one, none other than the famous Richard Branson of Virgin Music / Virgin Atlantic decided to partially finance the sequel 'Be Aware, Take Care', which was another success!In May of 2007 AMARU traveled to Chicago, IL (USA) to re-visit his first love: music. AMARU's style can be interpreted as musical pastry that grows on you:- a bottom layer of lots of pop, with a middle layer of r&b topped with a touch of Latin and Carribean influecend rhythms. The icing on this cake is the powerful and inspirational message in the lyrics! -AMARU writes all of his lyrics and melodies and he does all the vocals and vocal arrangements on his songs.For more about AMARU, you may also visit the official AMARU website at: http://www.amaru.nl.You may also visit AMARU on Myspace at: http://www.myspace.com/amaruonline.AMARU's acting reel and other videos can be accessed through this link: http://www.youtube.com/amaruonline
