CALIFORNIA - Many musicians release singles and hope fans connect to it. However, true artists use their music to bond with fans through a mutual experience or connection. For Amedee, identifying with his fans drives him every day in the studio.

“I make really good music,” said Amedee, who refers to his music as substance/reality rap. “Identifying with the people and trying to relate is what’s most important to me and my music because if you can’t relate with people and they can’t understand, there’s no point. When I write, I don’t necessarily write about what you’re going through or what your group of people is going through. Every song I make comes from my personal experience and my reality. It’s not about anybody else, but people feel as if I’m speaking for them also because they can relate to my truths. People appreciate my honesty. I’m a very transparent and genuine person.

Amedee is fast becoming the go-to hip-hop artist for mid-tempo emotional, heartfelt music that people can relate to. While he does his share of party music, his latest release, “To Whom It May Concern,” rides a vibe that showcases his genuine rap style with slick punch lines and lyrics that resonate with every listener. Mixed with a melodic reggae-ish vibe paying homage to Bob Marley, Amedee’s track does not sound like the typical rap song, but the music is catching fire due to the way it hooks listeners into its message and vibe.

While navigating through life and shutting out the doubters, Amedee said, “To Whom It May Concern” is his statement to his cynics. “This is my F-U song for anybody that’s doubted me and everybody that talks about me. It’s an introduction song, ‘hello, I’m Amedee, nice to meet you.’ I’m telling them you can hate me now but just wait ’til I bubble. I’m one of those people who gave and gave and just kind of got shitted on. This is my F-U; I am who I am, song to the world.”

While Amedee said “To Whom It May Concern” is a personal song, he knows fans across the globe can identify with its lyrics. “Everyone at some point in their life hears a lot of chatter from the outside, opinions about the way they are,” he said. “This is my shut the F-Up and let me live type of song.”

“To Whom It May Concern” was recorded at Eravox Studios in Carlsbad, with Amedee taking an active role in its creation. He went old school and resisted using autotune on this track using a beat from German producer Arma. Amedee’s creative abilities shine through the track’s every note from recording all the sound effects himself and voices for the song.

Devoting all his time to writing and producing music while trying to maintain a balance between being a father and having a 9-5, Amedee believes in his talent and seeks the respect he deserves from industry members. It is evident with his latest release that he is on the cusp of becoming a household name.

“I dedicated my life to music. I dropped out of culinary school to make music. I was one of those people who took music seriously and has given it his all,” he said. “Now, I want people to hear my music.”
