Meet Amadi Jae

Today we’d like to introduce you to Amadi Jae.

On June 2nd a light was ignited in West Chester, NY. This light would soon be known to the world as Amadi Jae. Growing up all over the world from Connecticut to Accra, Ghana, Amadi would soak in a melting pot of cultures. Although her unique upbringing would seep into the very core of her musical influences, her adversity would spark a passion within her to inspire others with illustrations of her triumphs and lessons thru music. Not always confident in her talents and abilities, Amadi would fall victim to doubts, fears, and insecurities. If not for a strong support system seeing a special light within her, she would have never begun to see it within herself. With her debut musical effort, this budding singer-songwriter and producer hopes to be that light for those who are now in the shoes that she once wore.

Thru her music and her “Retrolite” movement, Amadi hopes to instill the message that all of us, no matter what story their past tells, has a bright light within them waiting to shine bright and impact the world. Amadi Jae has begun this mission by releasing her  single Light Up The World and performing in such venues as Smith’s Olde Bar, Morehouse College, Clayton State University, and Centennial Olympic Park and features in DJIceberg.com, Broke2Dope.com, The Ikonic Music Blog, Greedmont Park, and the AlliExperience. Amadi Jae’s music has also been featured on VEVO’s teen playlist and Live The Biz Spotify Playlist and played on FM radio in Bangladesh and more. As her light continues to shine with inspiration and hope, we are bound to see her everlasting impression on the hearts of those that are touched by her music and movement.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Nothing worth having is easy. This has been a long journey with highs and lows and I’m appreciative of all of those experiences. I would say the biggest obstacle comes from within, overcoming self-doubt, insecurities, and procrastination. It’s about learning to trust the process and have confidence in your talents, abilities, and the plan that you laid out. Consistency has been another challenge but again that starts from overcoming the doubts within. Once that is conquered, everything else becomes a little bit easier. It starts with your thought process.

Please tell us about Amadi Jae (Retrolite Society).
I am a singer, songwriter, vocal coach, and vocal producer. My brand is Amadi Jae and I release my music and Merch under my Retrolite Society Imprint. I also work with singers and performers as a vocal coach under The Acapella Group LLC which I co-own with my business partner Avery Floyd Jr. Together we’ve created a growing family of singers, rappers, speakers, actors, dancers and more who are working hard to build their craft and reach their goals. So while I build my singing career, I’m enjoying helping others do the same.

Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
So many favorite memories but the one that will always stick out the most is spending part of my childhood in Ghana. Living there as a child shaped me and molded me into the woman I am today. I encourage everyone to travel and immerse themselves in other cultures. It’s an eye-opening and liberating experience.
