Hailing from Nigeria but spending her life travelling with her passion for singing always being at the forefront, Amarachi started singing at the age of 9. Gaining experience from the time she spent in the modelling scene in New York, this multi-talented artist is destined for greatness.
When one listen to Amarachi’s soulful new single “This is How” feels like an instant classic. Cementing legendary status from the first note, you could hear this assertive number in a heated cinematic movie scene. As featured on MTV show ‘The Hills: New Beginnings’, “This is How” is certainly turning heads within the entertainment industry.
Written by Amarachi Onyeise and Fiona Reid, the track was further produced by Nick and Mike Squillante from “Running Lights”. Musically, ‘This is How’ comes across as a soul-pop infused contender that steals the spotlight from the normal mainstream attire. A powerful soundscape that comes across as empowering and vibrant, Amarachi’s vocals are breathtaking throughout. Prone to the appeal of feel-good film lovers, Amarachi’s distinctive songwriting could easily land her a sync deal within a matter of months.
We got to sit with the artist to discuss this new single and what the future holds.
Hi Amarachi, welcome to VENTS! How have you been?
I’ve been doing great and happy to be alive.
Can you talk to us more about your latest single “This Is How”?
It’s a song that is close to me, about writing your own ending to a beautiful mess.
Did any event in particular inspire you to write this song?
The adversity I was going through at the time, which looking back now, has made me stronger – I feel like I am superwoman.
How was the recording and writing process?
The song was written in pieces. As life was happening, I was taking notes. Recording is always a breeze for me, and plus I was fortunate to work with a talented duo, Nick and Mike Squillante.
What role does Nigeria play in your music?
Nigeria was part of the beginning story. I still have childhood memories growing up. United States is where the nitty gritty has taken place. Not the fairytale life, but a beautiful mess.
How has your time travelling and getting to meet other cultures have influenced your music?
I’ve been fortunate to meet interesting people that bring life to each story. I always say each state/city lived in has different personalities. Some crazier than others.
Does the new single mean we can expect a new material – how’s that coming along?
I should have new music coming out later on this year.
Any tentative release date or title in mind?
TBA – It’s a hard decision to make. I like them all.
What else is happening next in Amarachi’s world?
Nothing at the moment.
