In this episode of Behind The Mic we checked back in for the third time with UK artist AMiR.
AMiR first came on the podcast before the Behind The Mic series started, in JCIP #19. We discussed his debut album, ‘All or Nothing’ he released in 2019, his refusal to be pigeon-holed or stereotyped and fatherhood.
In Part 2, we discussed the impact that Covid-19 had on his career both financially and mentally as he was unable to do any live shows and had to build the momentum he had generated back up, as we came out of lockdown.
We also discussed his move to take up boxing coaching to make ends meet and why the lockdown made him confront the mental health issues he hadn’t addressed previously.
Since then, AMiR has chucked himself into gigging in a variety of different ways, including his own solo work but also performing at weddings in covers bands, doing session drumming for various bands and guitar work too.
He has also started producing his own music to improve his skillset and reduce his costs and his upcoming new music he has produced entirely himself.
In this episode we discuss his upcoming new EP, a fatherhood update, the relationship men have with money and how his son has caused him to be a lot kinder to himself.
As always, #itsokaytovent
