Emerging R&B Star AMIRAH Debuts Powerful New Single “Silently”
AMIRAH is an independent artist with a talent for writing infectious tunes and relatable narratives. Inspired by internationally acclaimed artists such as Rihanna, Alicia Keys and Halsey, AMIRAH’s musical journey began at a very tender age. Being the avid storyteller that she is, the LA-based singer, who is originally from Malaysia, is greatly influenced by real-life experiences and hardships, where the majority of her inspiration derives from, allowing her to evoke strong emotions within her listeners, as can be heard on her brand-new single “Silently”.
“Silently” immediately commands attention from the first listen with its dark and gritty R&B production, which provides the perfect backdrop for AMIRAH’s versatile vocals – at times sugary sweet and at other times delivered with rap-like bravado, which makes for a fascinating listen. The rising artist also flexes her impressive penmanship, with the track jam-packed with engaging lyrics, catchy melodies and a memorable hook that will have everyone singing along. Only her fourth official single, it’s clear AMIRAH is one to watch.
Speaking further on the new release, AMIRAH says, “This track is about the comeback after making it through the storm (failed relationships, personal issues, traumas, emotional battles etc.). It is the anthem that represents the girl/woman who is so powerful and confident in herself that she doesn’t care what the world thinks of her. She is living life drama free and is doing whatever makes her happy, which is her main priority in life. She’s putting herself first and no one else above her but God.”
“Silently” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://ffm.to/presave-silently.

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
