    “Ameer’s earliest musical influences came due to his parents’ love for all types of music.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Ameer’s earliest musical influences came due to his parents’ love for all types of music. Throughout his childhood, he would become obsessed with artists like Michael Jackson, The Notorious B.I.G, and Kool and the Gang. Ameer’s Father, Muhammed Samir, listened to House Music, DJs like Alan King and Naeem Johnson, often, sprouting Ameer’s later love for the genre. He was first introduced to the art of djing through a program on MTV at the age of seven, already having been loving music for years. From there his parents bought him a Numark iDJ Live and the rest was history. Soon it would be clubs at 14, festivals at 15, Miami at 16, and so on. Ameer has been playing for over 10 years, and over the years has employed several techniques to spice up his sets like playing original remixes and mashups, and playing 3-4 songs at one time. Ameer has been booked with some of the DJ greats over the last 10 years of his djing career. In Miami at the Yuca Club in 2017, he was booked with Louie Vega, Timmy Regisford, and Ultra Naté during the Miami Music Week. Later that year he would be booked with the legendary Chosen Few DJs in Chicago. 2018 would bring the Jamaica Frenzy in which Ameer would participate in a weeklong event in Negril, Jamaica being booked with other DJs like David Harness, David Morales, Dj Spinna, DJ Spen, Salah Anase, and several other DJs. More recently he was blessed enough to be booked in a tour through Montreal, Atlanta, and then Washington D.C. in which he was booked on the same card as Black Coffee, Themba, DJ Angelo, Blondish, and Paskal Daze. Besides doing music Ameer is a current 4th-year student in college, studying National Security Media Arts, and minor in African American History. In conjunction with school and music, Ameer also is in love with the visual arts and has been fascinated with video production since childhood. Ameer looks to film series like Star Wars, Ghostbusters, and Indiana Jones as his earliest influences when it comes to visual arts. Ameer is also an avid photographer and videographer and plans to pursue work in the visual arts, while also doing music. Ameer also has released several original songs including Are You Afraid and House Strutting which was released under the OPOM record label. Ameer’s first independent release was called Doom, which was released in 2020. Ameer plans on continuing to release more and more music and hopefully DJ more internationally in the coming years. Along with djing Ameer hopes to grow his YouTube and Twitch career and create content across his various passions. Within the next 5 years, Ameer is looking to graduate college and grow his support base through hard work and consistent output. Whether it be gaming videos, twitch streams, or original music the goal is to put out good and well-produced content that people can enjoy
