“I’ll take my time”: Ammara

Published on

AMMARA Brown, daughter to the late prolific guitarist, vocalist and composer, Andy Brown, says she is in no rush to produce a full album.
The talented 26-year-old musician who ventured into the music arena as a child and was a backing vocalist in her father’s band The Storm is beyond doubt a talented musician in her own right.
However, the silky voiced musician has not yet produced a full album preferring to release singles.
The beautiful artiste who has had equally beautiful collaborations with fellow artistes declares that she is a ‘perfectionist.’
Her single, ‘Kure’ with talented lanky musician, Mukudzei ‘Jah Prayzah’ Mukombe was number six on the Coca Cola top 50 songs for 2014.
Ammara’s musical experience spans decades and countries, from America to South Africa and right back home.
After her parents’ divorce, she moved to America with her mother where her love for music drew her to the Martin Luther King Choir at the age of 13.
She later went on to produce her first demo song and played for her father who cried and immediately was allowed to join her father’s musical band at just the age of 15.
She then left for South Africa to study music where she performed at the FIFA World Cup in 2010.
The musician performed for the late former Malawian presidents Bingu Wa Mutharika and Joyce Banda.
With such a resume, Ammara insists she knows what she is doing and just recently announced that she will be releasing two more singles.
“There is so much pressure for me to release an album, but I will not do substandard work,” she said.
“There was a lot of talk when I said I had lost a whole album with 10 tracks compiled over the years.
“It is not professional to take an mp3 to radio, I will not do that.
“I will take my time.”
Ammara who says she lost a whole album including the backup copy said she had begun working on a new album.
“I have only taken two songs, My Dad and Mafaro from the album which was titled Hustlers’s Yoga, but was lost due to a viral attack,” she said.
“I will take my time (producing a new album) and my fans will have to do with singles for now.”
A live performance of hers of a yet to be released track ‘Havarare’ has had more than 600 views on its first week on You Tube.
The mother of one who literally grew up on the stage first appearing on the small screen at the age of three and began performing in her teens said she had matured into a fully fledged artiste.
She has had her share of controversies and criticisms from ‘twerking’ with Nigerian singer D’ Banj on stage and more recently a cover of her single ‘Crucify Me’ depicted a semi-clad woman on a crucifix.
“I want people to understand the person I am now,” said Ammara.
