about
Amina (formally known as member of the group “Black Buddafly”) was born and raised in Hamburg Germany, to a senegalese father and a german mother, where the story of her musical journey starts. Together with her older sister Sophie and her twin Jazz she began singing before she could talk, her Mother (a music lover who introduced her to the old Motown, The Jacksons, Earth Wind and Fire, Marvin Gaye etc.) says. There was always music playing in the house. Dad, who is a hobby Jazz musician, played the guitar, sax and salsa music all day long and Mom would sing with her daughters whenever she could. At the age of 6 Amina joined a classical choir and soon after she started doing musicals and toured with local pop acts and gospel groups. She started songwriting at the age of 13 and the day she discovered studio recording it was over. She just knew THIS was what she wanted to do. And there was no stopping her. She signed her first record deal in 1997 together with her sisters with BMG germany and released a single under the Name “Choyce”. But soon she realized there was something missing. In 2002, after a couple of more tries with other labels and production teams in germany and europe Amina and the girls took the big step. Without a plan, over night they packed their bags and flew to New York City with nothing but $600 dollars and a Dream. Leaving everything behind in Germany, they had no “choyce” but to “make it in America”. And they did. (see "Black Buddafly"Bio) A fe
