Amina Bryant
Produced By WhiZz K!D. Remixes by Cotti, Jim Jones, Reds, All About She & Hygrade
Having recently leapt into the BBC 1Xtra Playlist, as one of the few completely independent artists do so, exciting new singer/songwriter Amina Bryant is set to release her self-penned debut single ‘Jimmy’ on 7th March 2011.
Working with her long time producer WhiZz K!D, ‘Jimmy’ is an ode to Motown’s Martha and the Vandellas 1967 hit ‘Jimmy Mack’. An undoubtedly infectious pop delight, on ‘Jimmy’, Amina delivers a punchy, while sweetly melodious ultimatum to a lackluster lover. The track caught the ear of veteran Hip Hop star Jim Jones, who recorded an original rap verse for the song, infusing authentic New York swagger to compliment Amina’s effortless crooning on the ‘Jimmy’ remix. To add to this, remixes from Cotti (Dubstep), Reds (Drum and Bass), All About She (Breakbeat) and Hygrade (Dance) were also made, each bringing a distinct twist to the heartfelt record.
South London born Amina Bryant, has been writing and recording from a tender age, coming from a heavily musical family of Jamaican origin, her influences stretch from Motown and Reggae to R 'n’B and Pop. Working as an independent artist, Amina spent her teens finding her musical footings, with short spells in emerging girl groups, before deciding to go it alone and hone her craft. A committed songwriter and hands on recording artist, Amina’s passion for music is evident in all her endeavors, from popular YouTube covers of current artists, through to the precision of her original song compositions. Her playful melody driven music, coupled with candid, relatable lyrics, give Amina a universally appealing sound.
Her debut single ‘Jimmy’ is already bubbling under the surface on both sides of the Atlantic and is set to be released ion 7th March 2011.
