Meet Amira LaShea | Singer & Song writer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Amira LaShea and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amira, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind the success of my brand is God — period.
Everything I have, everything I’m building, and everything that’s unfolding in my life is happening because I made the decision to keep His name at the center of my journey. Before I ever released a song, stepped into a studio, or crafted a visual, I made a promise that if God opened the doors, I would make sure He got the credit.

My work ethic, my consistency, and my creativity all come from a place of faith. I don’t operate out of luck or chance — I operate out of purpose. When you know you’re called to something, it changes how you move. It makes you bolder, more resilient, and more willing to grow, even when the circumstances around you aren’t perfect.

My brand is built on intention, excellence, and identity — but the foundation is faith. That’s what keeps me grounded. That’s what keeps me going. That’s what keeps everything I do aligned and authentic. God is the root — the rest is the fruit.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art is rooted in emotion, storytelling, and faith. I make R&B music that feels like a movie — raw, feminine, dramatic, and real. What sets me apart is that I’m not trying to fit into a sound… I’m building a world. Every visual, every performance, every lyric is designed to make people feel something.

I’m most proud of the fact that I built everything from the ground up with no industry family, no shortcuts, just faith and consistency. Nothing about my journey has been easy — I’ve dealt with life, heartbreak, financial pressure, and moments where I had to choose between quitting or showing up again. But every time it got hard, God carried me, and I kept going.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that you don’t need permission to start — you just need a vision and the courage to be consistent even when nobody is clapping yet.

What I want the world to know is: I’m coming. My brand is bold, emotional, cinematic, and rooted in authenticity. I’m building something bigger than just music — I’m building an experience. And this is only the beginning.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’m still getting to know Atlanta, but every time I visit I fall more in love with the energy of the city. So if my best friend came to visit during one of my trips, this is the kind of week I’d plan:

Day 1: Start with brunch at Toast on Lenox or Breakfast at Barney’s—vibes, good food, and the perfect place to people-watch.

Day 2: Spend a day exploring Ponce City Market, then walk the Beltline. The creativity, the music, the food—Atlanta feels like a culture hub.

Day 3: Studio day. I love being around music, so I’d book us a session at one of the local studios and let the creativity flow.

Day 4: A chill version of home—when I’m in Arkansas, my favorite thing is finding cozy restaurants and spots with great food. So in ATL, I’d take them somewhere like Mary Mac’s Tea Room or Slutty Vegan for something fun and different.

Day 5: A night at The Battery for live music, drinks, and just catching a vibe.

Day 6–7: Rest, reset, and explore more of the city—boutiques, parks, and Black-owned businesses—because every time I come to Atlanta, I find something new to fall in love with.

Atlanta is one of those places where you can mix creativity, culture, and fun all in one week, so the real itinerary is: good food, good energy, and good memories.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are a few people and sources of inspiration I have to shout out, but the first one is God. My entire journey is proof of what faith, obedience, and purpose can do in somebody’s life. Every time I felt stuck, discouraged, or overlooked, God aligned the right opportunity at the right time. So He gets the first shoutout, always.

I also want to give credit to the people who have supported my vision from the beginning — the friends who encouraged my creativity, shared my music, gave me honest feedback, and reminded me that I was built for more even on days when I didn’t feel like it. Having people around you who see your potential before the world does makes a huge difference.

And lastly, I have to shout out my younger self — the version of me that dreamed fearlessly, wrote songs in her notes app, practiced in the mirror, and never stopped believing she could build something iconic. She kept me going through the good and the bad, and I’m honoring her every time I take another step toward my purpose.

My story is still being written, but God, my supporters, and the girl I used to be all played a major role in getting me where I am today.
