"Urban Inspirational Pop Music With A Heap Of Latin Soul"

That’s how to best describe his music! 
AMARU is an internationally acclaimed independent recording artist, a trained actor,
a published author, a filmmaker, a photographer and a model. 
 

He made his TV debut in his native country then moved to Europe in the early nineties and almost immediately started to work on his craft and hone his skills. Becoming a model for sculptors and art students was the stepping stone of his creative life in Europe
and with music and film on his mind he decided to study acting in both Amsterdam, The Netherlands as well as in
Los Angeles, California (U.S.A.), a move that has generated an impressive resumé of acting credits in film,
television, commercials and print.


AMARU made his big European TV debut in the intro of the Dutch game show “Now Or Never”, in which he was cast
to portray the late opera legend Luciano Pavarotti.

Traveling to Chicago (U.S.A.) in the summer of 2007 generated the completion of his first musical endeavor “
AMARU: The First EP”, released in April 2008. While acting gigs kept pouring in, it would take several years before his next musical project.
Champagne Attitude”, his first full length album, was released in May 2018. The album was very well received and it has won
two Gold Medals at the very prestigious Global Music Awards in California (U.S.A.). The music videos accompanying his
single releases were also awarded a tremendous amount of international film and music awards.

AMARU made his 
literary debut on 20 December 2020 by releasing his cookbook
"
AMARU COOKS - A Touch Of Suriname Through Food & Anecdotes". The book is available worldwide and to this day
it is the only cookbook in the world in English to feature authentic recipes from his native country
the Republic of Suriname, South America.


Juneteenth 2024 sees the release of AMARU’s 3rd. album "The Crime Of Silence".
Traces Of My Melanin”, the music video of the first single from this set, has won a total of 20 (!!)
international music and film awards
 since its release while the second single,
Este Hombre (El Tesoro)”, a Spanish dance song and tribute to the LGBTQIA community, has hit
the top of multiple charts on Spotify! Both tracks also have great streaming numbers online!

AMARU is currently working on his 4th. album, set to be released in the Spring of 2025.
