Young Amirah Delivers a Powerful Debut on the Honda Stage

Staged at a cozy family gathering reminiscent of her childhood, Amirah takes the stage to perform her unreleased track “Away from Me” exclusively for Honda Stage and Billboard. Surrounded by loved ones, her presence is both grounded and electric, reflecting the unwavering support she has received throughout her journey.

Collaborating with Mustard has been a creatively stimulating and empowering experience for Amirah. Though she often wrestles with self-doubt, the encouragement from Mustard and her manager keeps her grounded. “The confirmations from them mean so much. They keep me from getting in my head,” Amirah admits. The partnership has sharpened her sound, blending her natural talent with Mustard’s polished expertise. “Sometimes I suggest things like switching snaps for claps to give a track a different feel. We go back and forth, and it makes the process so collaborative,” she says, her smile illuminating her passion.

“Away from Me” carries a heartfelt message about self-focus amidst distractions. The recording process was an emotional whirlwind that took just three hours but was deeply cathartic. “It’s a song where you have to focus on yourself, despite people trying to pull you off track,” she explains, conviction ringing in her voice. With Mustard’s guidance, the final production showcases her powerful vocals against a compelling instrumental backdrop, creating a memorable sound that is both raw and refined.

This song marked a significant departure for Amirah, who typically improvises in the booth. “Usually, I don’t write lyrics down—I just go in and sing whatever comes to mind. But with this song, we sat down, listened to the guitar, and I knew it had to be about something real.” Inspired by feelings of neglect and the need for self-determination, she penned lyrics that assert her resilience: “I wanted to say, ‘I’m going to keep rising; you do what you need to, but I’ll stay focused on me.’”

Reflecting on the finished product, Amirah’s initial exhaustion morphed into pride. “After singing the same lines so many times, I needed a break,” she laughs. Yet the next day, her manager’s words—“You know this is fire, right?”—and Mustard’s praise ignited a sense of accomplishment. “Listening to it, I thought, ‘Okay, Amirah, you did that,’” she beams, recognizing that she had created something truly resonant.

With soulful lyrics and boundless energy, Amirah is quickly making waves as a rising star in the 10 Summers family. Her journey is fueled by family, creativity, and a spirit that shines brightly through her music. For Amirah, this path isn’t solely about fame; it’s about authenticity and staying true to herself—a young woman with big dreams and an even bigger heart. As she steps confidently into her career, it’s clear: Amirah is here to stay, and she’s just getting started.
