Breaking Boundaries in Music: Amaree Dee on Songwriting, Soul, and Industry Independence

In this interview, British singer-songwriter Amaree Dee talks about her journey as an artist, her creative songwriting process, and how she’s forging her own path in the music industry. Known for her gritty, soulful voice and genre-defying sound, Amaree seamlessly blends timeless soul, melodic indie rock, acoustic vibes, and retro R&B into a body of work that feels both classic and fresh.

Born and raised in London to Jamaican parents, Amaree grew up surrounded by a rich tapestry of musical influences. From her mother’s love for legends like Gladys Knight, Shirley Brown, and Millie Jackson to top 40 pop hits playing on the radio, Amaree’s upbringing shaped her ability to create music that is original yet warmly familiar. Her sound carries the echoes of great artists of the 70s while standing firmly in the present.

Amaree also discusses her 10-year hiatus from the music business, a time marked by frustration with the gatekeeping and challenges of sharing her music with the world. However, her love for the creative process—the transformation of silence into something tangible and meaningful—brought her back. Now, with the help of social media, she’s connecting directly with her audience, bypassing traditional industry barriers. The feedback she receives online has been overwhelmingly encouraging, allowing her to stay grounded and inspired as an artist.

As a live performer, Amaree’s charisma and sincerity shine. Whether delivering a heartfelt love song or tackling social issues, she connects deeply with her audience, conveying every lyric with conviction and honesty.

This interview offers a closer look at how Amaree blends her rich musical heritage, personal experiences, and creative freedom to craft a style uniquely her own. A true artist has re-emerged, breaking boundaries and inspiring listeners in a modern, ever-changing music landscape.
