Born and raised in South London, Amplify Dot was never far from a microphone. From the age of four, a young Amplify Dot would listen to the sounds of Salt n Pepa, Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix from her uncle’s Sony Walkman and the tones of The Carpenters and Barrington Levy from her dad’s reel-to-reel. Before long, the musically influenced school girl was recording her first track, an answering machine rap for her parent’s house phone.
A.Dot’s first stage experience came with an impromptu appearance at Missy Elliot’s jam packed Brixton Academy concert in 2001. Aged just 14, A.Dot climbed on stage when Missy asked if anybody in the audience could rap and blew the crowd away with her bravery and bravado.
Currently developing her own label AmpedUP, A.Dot is now in the studio working on her EP ‘Short Back & Sides‘ due for release in 2012 and has penned a deal with her first signing Ice Kid. A.Dot a self confessed tomboy with a love of poetry, krispy kreme donuts and mafia movies, is indeed on the verge of greatness.
PRSF are supporting “Dot to Dot”, an artist development programme that focuses on the development of Amplify Dots songwriting and collaboration with other artists/musicians UK Wide. A-Dots project will take in songwriting collabrorations with established urban talents at four urban hubs across England.
