Her RootsJazz sound -- mixing classic Jazz sensibilities with Neosoul funky grooves -- doesn't fit into the mainstream radio sound in the US or UK but MTV says it's "like listening to velvet waterfalls"!
Amikaeyla grew up among a musical family and was playing classical piano by 4. From an early age, she loved Stevie Wonder, Prince and Earth Wind and Fire but also listened to the Mighty Sparrow and Ella Fitzgerald with her parents. Amikaeyla's love of traditional spiritual and chant music led her to perform for His Holiness the Dalai Lama in India.
After performing with a number of jazz ensembles, dance, high life and power folk bands in the D.C area, Amikaeyla released her solo debut recording, Mosaic, to great acclaim -- ending up winning 12 musical awards including Best Female Vocalist, Songwriter and Composer.
Amikaeyla's most recent release, Being In Love is an homage to her musical roots and allows this talented singer to perform much loved standards in new ways as well as to give us some new standards of her own. This recording is a collaboration with world class musicians including Sheila E., Howard Levy, Ray Obiedo, and Esperanza Spaulding.
