Growing up in Kuala Lumpur, the densely-populated capital city of Malaysia, Amirah Ali was constantly exposed to the juxtapositions of different cultures and different viewpoints. It is this exposure to diversity that has framed who Amirah Ali is today: both as an artist and as a human being. Being born with mixed parentage, Amirah’s music reflects the diversity of her unique Malaysian background. It personifies the idea of West meeting East, fusing traditional music instruments and elements with the modern harmonies of Western music thus creating a sound for herself that is exploratory, bold and courageous. With a warm unique voice that is subtle yet enticing, her music draws you into the quiet bravery seen in her lyrics, where she speaks of diversity, equality, acceptance and unity not only through her lyrical content, but through her music arrangements as well.

Amirah has garnered local and international recognition for her songwriting and performing. Her latest single "Tell Me" was awarded semi- finalist for the ISC International Songwriting Competition(USA) 2020 beating 29,000 worldwide entries. Judges included Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and Tom Waits and The John Lennon Songwriting Competition 2020. In 2012, Amirah walked away with 7 nominations, the highest of the year, and 2 awards for ‘Best Female Artist’ and ‘Best Performance’ at the Voize Independent Music Awards (VIMA), which represents artists from all over Southeast Asia.
