Today we’d like to introduce you to AhmadMusic. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Brandon Ahmad of AhmadMusic is the fresh, vibrant beacon of light in the world of not only Rhythm and Blues, but Soul, Neo-Soul, Pop, and Hip-Hop – needless to say – his talents are limitless when it comes to the careful crafting of his music and artistry.
Growing up as the youngest of six children living in Detroit, MI wasn’t the lap of luxury for Ahmad. Even though his mother worked long, hard hours to give her family the bare necessities – which he truly appreciates and loves her for – living amongst so many in one household made him appear to be merely a link in the chain of people that surrounded him.
He soon left the shadow of his older siblings to live with his grandmother in Bristol, TN where he started to thrive and find his sound until he entered the historically-black college, Fisk University, located in Nashville, TN. His track and field scholarship was his way out of a not-so-ideal childhood, but writing and creating music was what helped him cope through it all.
“My music fills the soul with a healthy dosage of bass while soothing the heart with beautiful harmonies and melodic cadences.” Ahmad has continued to reside in “Music City” after graduating from Fisk with a music degree. Constructing music and writing songs are more than a dream for Ahmad, he creates so that the expanses of people who experience his gifted talent are extended an outlet to express their happiness, anger, confusion, and sorrow through musical meditation.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
There were so many struggles that I lost count, but as long as you get up every time you fall, you keep winning. From booking venues, lack of funding, and finding the proper studios and engineers for a project, you can be sure the amount of problems will continue to rise as we climb higher.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a singer/songwriter. I write and perform my own music, as well as write for a professional song company, Songfinch. I primarily focus on R&B/ SOUL. The combination of smooth melodies and 808s are the cornerstone of my sound.
My most recent project, Sleeping With My Demons, tells a story of love and heartbreak. The pandemic has been hard for a lot of people and I hope that my story helps others not feeling so alone in this world.
I’m also a business owner. My company, Ahmad Entertainment, has been in business for four years. Thanks to the effort of my team, ( Vibeout., Sunny, and Jarrett Harper) we have been able to provide a place for artists to grow and develop a real fan base. This year we welcomed a host of new entertainers to the fold:
J Boy: comedian/ host
Solo Graves: model/ artist
King E: artist
As we prepare for our fifth year in business, we have decided to expand to digital media in the Fall and look forward to the new challenges.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
I think that the industry will continue to get younger and faster. Technology continues to play such a crucial role in our field! I believe that things like the metaverse and social media are just the tip of the iceberg.
