Songwriting Contest Awards

I wanted to share with you an exciting and humbling update: my song "Tell Me" was awarded Finalist in The John Lennon Songwriting Contest and “You Are My Land” was awarded Semi-Finalist in the International Songwriting Competition.

“Tell Me” made it to the top 4 in the Inspirational category. The John Lennon Songwriting Contest is a prestigious international annual contest created by Yoko Ono Lennon, and the ISC featured judges such as Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and Tom Waits, so I feel very blessed to say the least.

I treated myself to Nasi Bungkus to celebrate!

Thank you so much to everyone who supports my music and encourages me to keep composing and singing.

Thank you to my amazing producer Jeff Bova, Satnam Ramgotra for playing tabla on my song (such an honour since he plays on many of Hans Zimmer's films) as well Dave Eggar, Amy Powers and Satoshi Naguchi - thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Let's never forget our beautiful, hypnotic traditional instruments like the tabla, tanpura and gamelan. I'll always do my part to keep them alive through my music.

For those of you that have been following and supporting me from the beginning, you know how important the the message of unity is and always will be to me.

To my supporters, I am forever grateful for your encouragement. You put the wind in my sails. I have taken these humble steps forward in my musical career because of you.

To Amirah Supporter Family members, thank you so much for pledging support for my music and the message of unity. With your pledge, I am able to keep going. Thank you so much!

Let's always inspire unity together.

Amirah
