Amaria

Alternative R&B artist Amaria has a modern sound that builds on the mellow yet engrossing aspects of neo-soul, as mastered by the likes of Erykah Badu and Amel Larrieux. The Tampa native made her commercial debut on New Year's Day 2020 with the self-written, self-produced "Morning," a confident first step from the then-teenaged singer. She has continued to set herself apart with a steady flow of increasingly refined singles and projects, from the EPs Bittersweet (2021) and All for You (2023) to the simultaneously pared down and rich full-length Free Fallin' (2024).
