Amira Elfeky

Los Angeles-based Amira Elfeky moulds nu-metal influences, a mysterious goth atmosphere and emotive compositions into an aggressive but accessible rock sound. She started playing music at a very young age and at fifteen she moved to the Bay Area, where she discovered nu-metal and grunge. She subsequently moved to California and started working on songs inspired by 1990s alt-rock. Anemoia label owner Ian Hunter gave her access to his home recording facility, where she fine-tuned her mix of alternative metal and Evanescence-style gothic rock. Once signed by Anemoia, she released ‘Coming Down’ and ‘Everything I Do Is for You’. Her maiden EP ‘Skin to Skin’ dropped in the spring of last year. Her lyrics often focus on mental health, anxiety and vulnerability and so far she’s toured with such acts as Evanescence, The Used and Story of the Year. #GMM25
