Amber grew up anywhere and everywhere. She regularly journeyed around the world in the company of her artist mother before her untimely passing, oscillating between Miami and New York, Berlin and Darjeeling, where her mother studied the art of thangka painting, constantly blessing their home with vibrant color and relentless creativity.

Her self-produced debut EP, 3:33 AM — a deeply moving and meditative platter of earthly experimental pop inspired by the unique stages of grief she experienced in her mother’s absence — was created in stolen nocturnal moments. Living in a cramped New York apartment with her godparents, she waited until they went to bed each night before she could begin. And then she’d drift into a foggy juju of beatmaking and lyric writing, barely looking up from her screen until sunrise. With the stages of grief in mind, the EP began to form: a kaleidoscopic mix of the music she listened to as a child — jazz, soul, Indian classical and hip-hop — with sometimes up and sometimes downtempo electronica.

It’s artwork, framed by tiger orange paint, is a celebratory explosion of vibrance taken from a painting by her mother, it symbolizes her mother’s creative energy continuing through Amber’s music
