Amity
“Fierce. Intelligent. Dramatic. Addictive”
Amity’s a boundary-pushing award winning artist, fiercely dedicated to his craft & completely unapologetic in his vision. Hitting unstoppable momentum for the last 2 years, the 19-yr-old’s been on a remarkable rise since his live debut at 15 won him a feature in The Guardian (“miraculous”). Blending sharp lyricism & cinematic soundscapes with theatrical live energy, Amity’s “blisteringly bold.. gritty & gutsy” music (Artistic Echoes, US) takes aim at an unjust world, speaking up for all who’ve faced adversity.
Far from a studio project, Amity's cinematic music is rooted in the live experience, where it all began. Having commanded huge stages from the Electric Ballroom (“A talent that can’t be ignored,…absolutely f***ing brilliant” - The Musos Awards) to The Royal Albert Hall (“powerhouse performer…captivated the entire Hall from start to finish”) — where Amity won the official Future Maker Artist award & sold out the Elgar Room — venues, reviewers & festivals agree that Amity's performances “captivate” audiences, with an identity so distinct that Betteshanger Rocks Festival Director James Nash wrote: "In an industry crowded with imitation, Amity feels refreshingly impossible to replicate. I’d be far more surprised if they didn’t end up on the world’s biggest stages than if they did." Clefnotes added “…the Grammy’s & Coachella next”.
This past year’s been a blur of milestones; Amity’s been nominated Best Breakthrough Artist & Best Solo Act (Radio Wigwam), hit main stage festival slots, a headline on Lakefest’s Yamaha Stage & delivered a UK tour. Off stage, his releases broke into iTunes Charts, secured editorial playlisting in 130 countries, & won “Track of the Year” from tastemakers.
Armed with a “gut-punch voice” & an “emotionally magnetic” hold over audiences, he’s been named “Artist for our time” (ASBO Magazine), “The Voice & Music of 25”, (Phoenix FM), “generational talent” (FMOF) & one to watch by dozens of taste makers, from BBC’s Nicky Patrick to The Royal Albert Hall. Amity’s music holds a mirror up to society while speaking truth to power - “raw, real & unforgettable” (The NE Music Guide).
