Aamir Shahid, better known by his stage name am1r, is an R&B Artist, songwriter, and producer from Toronto, Canada.
Growing up in a musical home, his mother taught him to play the piano at age 9. Around the same time, he discovered his ability to sing. During his teenage years, he developed a passion for R&B music, being greatly influenced by the soulful sounds of R&B artists Boyz II Men, Usher, Craig David, Marques Houston, and many more.
After graduating from University with a Business degree, he decided to follow his true passion instead and pursue a career in music. Not knowing a single person in the music industry, he decided to take matters into his own hands and taught himself how to produce music. Through his influences and his own experimentations, he developed his own sound; a unique rendition of R&B, Soul, and Pop, best described as a seamless blend of piano-laced melodies accompanied by rich, melismatic vocals.
