Out of Southport,
NC comes AMForte Clarity with a sound that is very down to earth and welcoming
to those who are just beginning to experience her music.
With songs such as
"Concrete" and "With You and Me", AMForte has the tendency
in her material to express a warm and vibrant array of lyrical notions that
tell stories of a hopeless romantic. The other side to the tail is the quick
and up-beat personality of AMForte, expressing herself with a blunt facade as
she inquires about her recently failed relationship in a song titled "Are
You Happy Now."
The SL Enquirer
recently caught up with AMForte for an exchange of questions and answers; the
song-writer had this to say:
wish813 Resident:
What is it like or how does it feel to be a musician making music that you love
and feel so strongly about?
AMForte:
Music is my out. I love to make music but at the same time, it can be haunting.
Most of my songs are about personal experiences and with personal experiences
comes pain, sorrow, and most of all, haunting memories and strong emotion. It
brings me back to that place in time where things weren't so great. Then there
are other songs, such as a few love songs that I have written that can be great
and bring great memories or feelings that are good. So making music is a great
way for me to get out what's inside of me or when I can't find the words to let
out what I need to let out. Sometimes it takes time but when the words and
music come out, it's the right mixture.

Resident: What is your favorite song
that you have composed and what does it remind you of?
AMForte: My favorite song is a song called, "It's
a Nice Day." It reminds me of relationships and how people are always on
their best behavior when it comes to dating or relationships. People change,
like seasons change, for every action there is a reaction but I wish, for once
that people would just be themselves and who they really are when they first
meet, instead of wasting so much time on a relationship only to find out 2
years down the road, the guy that you met at that coffee shop is really an
asshole. If you're gonna be an asshole, be an asshole when I meet you so I can
decide then and leave your ass to the curb. /;)
wish813 Resident: In what city/state did you make your first
recording, and what was the experience like?
AMForte: I
was in Maryland, when I made my first recording. It was awesome. I had really awesome
people to work with. I actually felt
like I was finally getting things accomplished and hopefully getting to where I
wanted to be musically. It was definitely a step in the right direction and I plan
to do much more recording in the future.

Resident: What artist/group is most
influential to you and why?
AMForte: Radiohead
was the most influential to me because Thom Yorke is so passionate, emotional
about his music. He lives it in real time, the emotion that is. He to me, is
what music stands for. I mean, there are many other artists that stand for
music, but there is something about him and the music that they produce. It breaks boundaries and they don't care for
critics, they just do their thing and it works. I have much respect for them.
wish813
Resident: Are there any goals that you
keep in mind while making your music? Have you achieved any of these goals
lately?
AMForte: My goal in mind when creating music is this;
create the best music I can. I try to create music that I could hear on the
radio and that are catchy, but who knows, what I think is catchy may not be. I
know many of my songs have touched people all over the world so it's nice to
know that I'm not the only one that has these emotions or experiences.

Resident: Finally, are there any new projects from you to look forward to
within the next year?
AMForte: Recording
my album, writing new songs, writing a musical, writing a movie script, writing
a book, graduating from school and just moving forward.
