Amirah

Amirah Hall was born in Norfolk, raised in Hampton, Virginia, & currently resides in Virginia Beach, VA. She began learning to play the piano at the age of three and a half and got her first solo singing opportunity in the church choir when she was seven years old. She continued developing her musical talents throughout middle school, eventually joining the school band and picking up percussion. Inspired by her poet mother, she began writing about her experiences.

The world shut down halfway through Amirah’s 8th grade year due to the pandemic, and the budding singer-songwriter found herself stuck at home. That’s when she took the plunge on TikTok, publishing her first video in March 2021. Three months later, she went viral with a stirring performance of Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever,” which has over 11 million views. She signed with Mustard’s Grammy-winning label, 10 Summers/ Interscope Records, six months later.

Amirah’s debut EP, Wish It Wasn’t You, is a blissfully innocent romp through the unbridled thoughts of a boy-obsessed 17-year-old girl. Anchored by the playful “Tokio,” self-love anthem “Beautiful” and the powerhouse title track, the brilliant 6-song project, executive produced by Mustard, is filled with lush chords and enticing melodies that are destined to resonate with listeners of all ages.
