It was a dive in the deep end moment: last May, Beckah Amani opened for Tones & I at Brisbane’s Riverstage, and about 9000 people were in the audience. “I was telling my sister I couldn’t do it. I wanted to vomit,” says the Gold Coast singer-songwriter. “But then you go on stage and do your thing and realise that you love every moment of it.“
A long-time bedroom songwriter and hardy busker , the 22-year-old has just put out a single that makes her promise obvious.is a constellation of luminous harmonies, Afropop flourishes and gilded pop production. It bridges Amani’s creative past and future. “The studio is inspirational. With new sounds I can express myself differently, which is really cool and fun,” she says. “I found sides to my artistry that I didn’t know existed until I worked with a producer. I didn’t realise what I could do.
There’s an EP in the works, with the producer ranks including Matt Corby, and Amani is starting to learn what the music industry requires from its artists. “You’ve got to have a plan and a strategy,” she jokes. But having delivered aBabyface Mal’s hit mix-tape Time Out elevated him to next big thing status.
