Amen
Amen’Auset’s first live performance was in the back of her parent’s Volvo riding around Oakland’s Lake Merrit at the seasoned age of three. She sang the opening riff to Maxwell Ascension(don’t ever wonder) that was as emotionally moving as it was impressive to witness a three year old memorize and croon (on key) with one of the finest to ever grace a stage.
Her soul was imprinted with the essence of the music immortals before she uttered her first words. She was told stories about how her parents would make recordings of Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, and Roy Ayers and play them through earphones on her Mother’s stomach while she was still in the womb. Her earliest memories of safety, connection, and love were found in melody. Amen’Auset now stands before us with a gift to share, an energy to emit, and a message to convey. Her love-affair with vibration and composition create a lovechild of a truly immaculate conception- she is creativity in its authenticity and is impassioned by pushing the purity of her craft forward. The sister intuitively understands the need for complementing the beauty of harmonic artistry with the kiss of emotional timelessness. Her music speaks. The name Amen’Auset literally translates as “One who seeks truth through trance.” She has found her truth in music…and music is her trance.
