OurStage fans judged over 1,500 entries in the second contest of Coke and Radio One’s “My Formula. My Chance” Talent Search series. At the top of the charts was Amayé’s hot R&B track, “Make Up 2 Break Up”. This radio-ready, mid-tempo jam about love’s frustrations struck a chord with fans while showing off the rising diva’s golden set of pipes. Aside from adding the Number 1 Channel ranking to her resume, Amayé can also claim the contest’s Grand Prize: working on a collaboration single with superstar Trey Songz courtesy of Atlanic Records! Amayé began her entertainment career as a dancer in her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. After attending Baltimore School of the Arts and performing in several dance companies she moved to Greensboro, NC to attend North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University. While in college, she honed her frontwoman skills while singing in a R&B and hip-hop cover band with fellow students.
Amayé is currently working hard to emerge from obscurity as a solo artist, drawing inspiration from artists such as Toni Braxton and Anita Baker. When asked what she liked about promoting her music on OurStage, Amayé said “I love the Electronic Press Kits. They’re really the best thing for an artist; very convenient and best of all, free!” Now thanks to OurStage, Coca-Cola, Radio One and Atlantic Records, Amayé will be rubbing elbows with one of the industry’s brightest talents in a state of the art recording studio. Congratulations!
