Introducing: Queen Aaminah 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOSQpiUadqc 
From the USA to worldwide, this queen has performed both lead and background vocals to thousands of concert-Goers worldwide. Her debut album "LOVE REIGNS" may crown her neo-soul's new golden girl! 

Queen Aaminah was born and raised in Queens, NY.  She was a child who loved the stage at a very early age in her life.  In knowing this, her parents were very supportive of all that she wanted to do and she joined the church choir, had piano lessons, and was all enrolled in a dance school.    She was also very big on raising money for different charities at a young age. She produced several shows to raise money for different charities such as sickle cell anemia, cerebral palsy, and diabetes.  During her high school years, her passion for the arts led to tour performances on many other circuits including Doo-Wop, and Broadway Musical remakes in the Caribbean.

Queen Aaminah studied performing arts and music when she attended Lincoln University in Pennsylvania.  She is a Jazz vocalist that can also sing R&B, Hip-Hop, Classical and Alternative Music.  Queen Aaminah became one of the leaders of the University Dance Company, as well as the University Theatre Ensemble.  She was chosen to be the lead vocalist for the school’s renowned Jazz Quintet in the last ten years. 
 




Currently, Queen Aaminah has established herself as Singer/Songwriter, Producer and Choreographer.  She has toured the world with top recording artists such as Mary J. Blige-MCA, Amel Larrieux-The Bliss Group/Pacific East, Sharissa-Motown, Remy Shand-Motown, Groove Theory-SONY/Epic, and the opening band for the Dave Matthews Band tour, Robin Andre'-RCA. She was the featured female vocalist with The Black Rock Coalition Orchestra (BRC) on the "sold out" Finland tour highlighting music from the "Blaxploitation" film era.





Often compared to artists like Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, India Irie, and the late, great Sarah Vaughn, queen AaMinah*s co-produced project with producer Lionel Sancheez, Jr., entitled "LOVE REIGNS" has enabled her to finally be "free" in the music. She also feels quite blessed to have had so many talented producers, musical directors, and musicians perform on this project, including her live band she named THE REIGN. "They all let me do my thing, and they respected my abilities more than many other musicians I've worked with before" she says. "It's not easy being a female in this male-oriented business", but this dame's got game. Her songwriting and harmonic vocal arrangements reflect her sassy, sexy style, and rich heritage. 

Queen Aaminah is an artist that loves to perform.  Each show is given 110% and more.  Her music and performance take you away from reality in a relaxing environment where you can enjoy every moment of her show.  
Queen AaMinah* thrives on excellence and the pursuit of righteousness in her life. Her combination of training, experience, and musical maturity are so vast. Her contribution adds wisdom, knowledge, peace and love to the music world. The queen's wish- "I want to bring real music back to the people because music is the voice of Creation, and real music is the voice of our people"
