Amaarae began to experiment with music at the age of 13, when she wrote her first song. During high school Amaarae started making mixtapes and by 17, she took up an internship at a music studio. At university, she undertook voice training and honed her song writing skills while studying English literature and in June 2017 she returned to Ghana. After collaborating with artists like AYLØ, Kay-Ara, Yaw P and putting out a few non-album singles, she released her debut 6 track EP, Passionfruit Summers in 2017. Passionfruit Summers features the standout song, "Fluid", which was complemented by a critically acclaimed music video.
