Sampling the classic Beatles song, "You Never Give Me Your Money," I created, "Funny Paper," the 3rd & Final Single from my debut EP - The Rest Of Your Life: The TIME EP PT. 1. I really loved putting this song together. Finding the best use of this sample, adding a little production, and combining them with the right lyrics was a deep process. In the end I was really pleased with the final product and hope you are too! ...New music COMING SOON! - KD

Too often, persons of color are taken away too early due to unlawful police activity and unnecessary gang violence. On this last day of Black History Month, I hope this message resonates past the month of February. I hope this song helps to bring awareness to the humanity of these victims of police brutality and that we wouldn't just see them as statistics. I hope that we can see the importance of their lives, ours, and the potential we all have to effect one another through love and empathy. We all have the ability to bring about the change many of us want, where the color of our skin no longer affects the content of our perceived character.

Do u believe in dreams? 
Do u still believe in your childhood dreams? 
Do u believe that life is a dream? 
We do. 
We even still stare at the stars. 
Twinkle with us. 
--the A.M. light-- 

It took a well-deserved 3 years after the making of a track called "morning sex" for producer Blackdaylight and vocalist ArinMaya to re-define themselves as the A.M. light. 

On "Twinkle," their first single as the A.M. light, a definite and certain communion takes place, as if the two artists met in the sandlot on a Tuesday afternoon after school, filled with excitement from the day and even more for tomorrow. 

Their freedom of expression and simultaneous belief in all the possibilities will make the A.M. light a bright awakening on the musical scene.

A reworking of one of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs of all time, My Cherie Amour. This is my dream duet!

My Cherie Amour Remix

Thank You is about being ok with the end. The end of a relationship of any kind. It's about saying yes to yourself when something else has said no. It's about being ok with the reality that everything ain't for everybody, and standing in that amazing moment of "hell yes!" and being completely fine with it.

There was a guy, yes. And then he left, and I was sad. And I cried and I didn't understand and I mourned... but when I thought about it and who he was and all of who he wasn't and what I actually wanted, I came out on the other side MUCH smarter and SOOOOO grateful because he was NOT for me, and boy was that a blessing to find out when I did!

So "Thank You" is about being honest with yourself and being good with the truth when it comes, even if you ignored it for a while. Thank yourself for moving in the right time for you.

Enjoy!
ArinMaya

Thank You

ArinMaya is an inspirational singer, songwriter, sound healer and activist who’s been described as having “a unique and ancient sound” by Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist Gregory Porter.

Though she's been called "the Mayor of Brooklyn," ArinMaya originally hails from Chicago’s South Side. Her musical training and performance background began with studies in West African dance and rhythms, continued in numerous church and community choirs and was fostered by her parents’ diverse record collection, which included Bobby McFerrin, Ella Fitzgerald, Sweet Honey in the Rock and Paul Simon, among others. She’s gone on to study and sing with Bobby McFerrin and Voicestra, Ysaye Barnwell and Sweet Honey in the Rock— these experiences continually impact her writing and musical approach.

She has shared the stage with numerous icons, artists and activists, including Angelique Kidjo, Deva Mahal, Carly Simon, Maya Azucena, John Robinson, Akua Naru and Camille Trust, and is also a founding member, arranger and musical director with the Resistance Revival Chorus. She is committed to creating uplifting music with like-minded talent across the genres of soul, jazz, hip-hop, and world music and has most recently joined the M19s band, performing on hip-hop trailblazing duo Stretch and Bobbito’s new album, No Requests and headlining alongside Grammy-winning artist Mireya Ramos, Grammy-nominated artist Mumu Fresh and world-renowned DJ Rich Medina. She was also recently seen on the Late Show with Jimmy Fallon, providing background vocals for Jim James (My Morning Jacket) with the Louisville Orchestra.

Her solo performances are known to be “joy-filled” and “healing” experiences that captivate audiences at intimate venues around the world, including: Blue Note Jazz Club (New York, Paris), The Kennedy Center (Washington, DC), Harlem Stage, Ananda Ashram, National Sawdust, Core Club, Sofar Sounds (Chicago, Paris, New York, Philadelphia), Porgy & Bess (Austria), Flavourama Dance Fest (Austria), Café Galdos (Madrid), and Badehaus (Berlin). ArinMaya has also performed for incarcerated youth at Rikers Island and frequently supports programming at Crossing Point Arts, working with victims and survivors of sex trafficking.

In 2018, her song “Thank You” was considered for a Grammy in four categories and her music has been featured on Issa Rae’s award-winning web series "Giants," the Lifetime Network's AUDC, BET’s "Hustle in Brooklyn," and Spotify’s Leo Cosmic Playlist curated by Chani Nicholas. With five EPs and one album to her credit, ArinMaya is hard at work on her next solo project, and is committed to solidifying her place as musical healer, inspiring performer, teacher and community activist.
