In a city overflowing with voices, Amoori Bey, a 27-year-old Southern California native, resonates on a deeper frequency. Rooted in spirituality, soul, and raw vulnerability, her music is more than sound, it’s a channel for connection, healing, and self-discovery.
“I am a very spiritual person,” she shares. “Music to me is my heart, everything I feel. I’m able to transmute that through the music.” Inspired by artists like India Arie and Bob Marley, she creates with a similar depth, channeling her emotions and experiences into every song.
Her latest release, “Hades,” is a raw fusion of soul and introspection, evoking the warmth of a Caribbean night or the intensity of a Jamaican dance floor, alive with sweat and passion. The song captures her emotional honesty as she sings, each lyric steeped in vulnerability. ‘I put all my emotions on my sleeve,’ she declares, baring her soul in a music video styled with a nostalgic 90s camcorder aesthetic.
Her debut EP, “The Light Wave,” set for release in early 2025, reflects Amoori Bey’s journey through life’s frequencies and energies, much like the undulating motion of ocean waves.

“I feel like I am traveling through on my own light wave,” Amoori explains, capturing the EP’s essence as more than music, it’s the soundtrack of her life. Through “The Light Wave,” she invites listeners to experience this journey, tuning into the natural flow and rhythm that define her artistry.
At the heart of Amoori Bey’s journey is an unwavering commitment to authenticity. Her mentor, Moses Davis, a Columbia Records executive, offered her advice that has become a guiding principle: “Do not change. Do not dilute your music. Just be yourself… it’s way more powerful, way more potent.”
This message deeply resonates with Bey, who believes that the true power of art lies in its honesty. She shares this wisdom with others, reminding them, “If it’s in your heart, it’s possible.”
Reflecting on her own experiences, she adds, “The hardest times I went through made the best music.” For Bey, embracing challenges isn’t just part of the process; it’s essential, as these moments bring the wisdom that shapes both life and art.
Amoori Bey’s life and artistry are intertwined with her dedication to wellness, spirituality, and community. She is a wellness coach, an alkaline plant-based chef, a yoga instructor, and a hairstylist, a combination of roles that reflects her holistic approach to life.
As a wellness coach and yoga instructor, Amoori draws on her spiritual practices to help others find balance and strength, which in turn fuels her music with authenticity and depth. Her hairstyling practice, often regarded as a space for intimacy and conversation, allows her to connect with people in a more personal, therapeutic way.
Through each of these roles, Amoori cultivates the energy that she ultimately pours into her music, making her artistry a true reflection of her journey toward self-discovery and collective upliftment.
Currently, Amoori Bey is honing her craft at the Los Angeles Film School, where she studies music production surrounded by like-minded creatives. In this nurturing environment, she’s thriving, embracing her artistry without compromise. She’s gearing up for her performance on October 23 at The Los Angeles Recording School (LARS) Live, a student run show for emerging entertainment professionals, where she will debut two unreleased tracks.
“Come out if you want to enjoy some high frequencies and have a good time,” she invites, with her characteristic passion. “They said neo-soul is dead, but I say it’s not—so definitely come check me out.” Amoori’s energy promises an unforgettable experience that redefines and revives neo-soul for her audience.
This is Amoori Bey’s moment, perfectly aligned with her dreams and journey as an artist. With “The Light Wave” and her LARS Live debut, Bey not only redefines neo-soul, but also invites listeners to join her on a transformative journey, proving that true art does not just resonate—it inspires and uplifts.
