SongVault Artist Profile

Amante' is a fresh breath to Hip-Hop, an escape from the norm, with smooth and clear vocals mixed with rhythmic blues and catchy hooks. Amante' hails from Lithonia, Ga right on the outskirts of Atlanta. His ambition is to be the first emcee from his city to achieve critical and commercial success. Amante' is ambitious, hungry, and is a student of Hip-Hop as well as a fan.

Amante' is a star who only needs an opportunity to accomplish his set goal, which is to bring "True" feel good Hip-Hop back. The present state in Hip-Hop is stagnant due to redundant songs.
