Q. Amey is the epitome of a true artist, songwriter, and producer! He has written for Trey Songz “Last Time” (a top 10 hit) to Rihanna’s “Fading” off her multi-platinum Loud album selling over 8 million copies worldwide! He was born in Atlanta, Ga. where he started his journey for music at an early age of four living in Bankhead Courts. Q says, “it was very hard as a child living in some of the most notorious hoods of Atlanta” but, it’s where he got his passion to not be the average guy from the streets. From a young age he and his brothers (Mason Howell & Bennie Amey) started singing on their porch to make money from passing by neighbors and he says they made pretty good money to be kids! “After all I was only four years old”.
As he grew older though at the age 16 he was approached by the phenomenal group OutKast (Love Down Below, Speakerbox) to sign a solo recording deal. “It was a great opportunity” Q. says and he was a day away from signing before music executive Chris Hicks (Justin Beiber, Usher, Mary J. Blige, Bryan Michael Cox, Jazze Pha ) heard a demo of the young talented superstar! Chris immediately knew that there was something special about the young guy and matched the offer that Outkast was presenting along with his team of super producers and writers.
