AMINA1389 DEFINITY, born Safiyyah Amina Muhammad, a Harlem-Kin to the core, is influenced by LIFE and it's Music, JAZZ Music.
Influenced by her mother’s extensive collection of musical greats such as Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, Nancy Wilson, Stevie Wonder, Etta James, Etta Jones, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Shirley Caesar, Bobby Womack, Bobby Blue Bland, The O’ Jays, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin and many of the Motown greats and Philadelphia sounds of the 70’s. It was the original and playful lyrics of Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band that invited AMINA1389 to test the art of writing songs and poetry. AMINA says that, as of 5 years ago, writing poetry became a therapeutic retreat to compliment her hectic lifestyle.
“I used to write poetry and songs all the time in my youth, I even co-founded an all girls rap group and, believe it or not, I used to break-dance. But as I got older, my interests had shifted”
AMINA’s first effort at reciting in public was what she proclaims to be “sweaty palms” moment when she read before Miguel Algarin of Nuyorican Poets Café and Amiri Baraka. Encouraged by Miguel’s positive words, she began featuring at the Jordan’s Red Carpet Restaurant in Roselle, New Jersey. Since then, she has recorded various collaborations with artists & producers such as Zam Zam & the Mellyomatic, The Nxt LeveL, Tshombe the Poet (formally Truth Theory), Lyve Martyr, Courtney "Stormynite" Wyatt and Chocolate Zeus.
She has been featured on Spotlight on Jazz & Poetry (sojpradio.com), performed live for the Supreme Entertainment Talent Showcase and she was an instrumental member of the Spoken Truth Online Radio Media (STORM) group on Blog Talk Radio. There she co-created & co-hosted the very successful talk radio show Sistah Talk w/her dear friend Lovely Brown Female. Recently AMINA co-hosted the NEW Explosive Radio Show w/her dear friend Realism's Truth & DJ Fire Mix on 97.5 FM ELITE RADIO (myeliteradio.com)
"Safiyyah’s voice is like poetry in motion and her poetry is as soothing as it is powerful!" (-Clay "Big Trigger" Corley, Host of Spotlight on Jazz & Poetry)
AMINA is a wife, mother, grandmother, community activist, and advocate for people with disabilities; she has a 10 year old son w/ AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER.
"If you don’t know someone who is affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder; chances are YOU WILL”. (c) 2006. Amina1389 Definity
