Samirah Al-Amrie

I believe in music. I always did I guess. Even as a little girl when I stood in front of the TV with a spoon as a mic in my hands and tried to imitate the singers. And now, maybe 25 years later, I passed all my diplom exams and can say- hey, I am a graduated musician... But to be honest- what does that say about my music, my passion? Almost nothing...I like to put different styles together. Not because I think that's the hip way to do, but because I have so many influences in me that it just happens. My father is half arabic, half indonesian and my mother is german, from east Germany and there I was born. I grew up in Cologne with celebrating "Kölner Karneval" every year (imagine me speaking "Kölsch", hehe!!), started playing Capoeira and dancing Flamenco while I was living in Hamburg and kept on loving those things until now. What I miss in my musical life is the arabic music. But it's good to set oneself a target and I hope I can reach mine which is singing in arabic with understanding every word and beeing able to speak arabic...We'll see, but now I am looking forward to the next concerts and hey- if you have a label- I am still searchnig!!
