We had the good fortune of connecting with Najee Amor and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Najee, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I chose to pursue an artistic career for freedom of expression & because I was inspired by those before me who not only made it look & sound good, but were also able to convey a message through their music.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Music has always been a passion of mine before I ever recorded a song so it was only right that one day I would begin to take it serious. I like to look at being an artist as a journey. No, it hasn’t been the easiest path but I’ve learned to appreciate my hardships because there’s always a lesson to learn from them. There’ve been times where I’ve made actual attempts to quit but somehow the music would always find it’s way back to me naturally, so I stopped fighting it. What I want the world to know is less about me and more about my message which is simply that you have to start from the ground but you can make your way up by remain positive & persistent.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d like to first & foremost give a shoutout to the most high God for amongst many other things giving me vision & guiding me to find what I believe is my purpose. Secondly I have to shoutout my mother for always riding with me & for me no matter what. Last but not least, to those who support me, have my best interest at heart & never changed, thank you.
