Born to be a Star: In Conversation with Ammara Brown
Having been born into a talented family, one could easily say Ammara Brown was born for this. However, the moment you meet her, you realize she is way more than Andy Brown’s daughter.
Her attention to detail when it comes to her brand tells you all you need to know about the work she puts into everything you see today.
The Artistry

She has grown up in the public eye, blossomed, and experienced loss right in front of our eyes. Today she stands as one of the most powerful voices across gender and genre in Zimbabwean music. We sat down to ask her the questions you’ve always wanted to ask.
You are known for singing, songwriting, acting, and dancing. How did you know music was the path you wanted to choose?
It was all in the feeling. Singing is the closest I can be to the sky, without physically touching it. Sonic heaven.
How did growing up around so many talented people—especially your family—shape the kind of artist you have become?
It moulded me positively. I sat on the shoulders of a giant so I got a heads up, as a head start.
What is your creative process like? What inspires you?
It’s never the same. But 9 out of 10 times, melody hits me like a striking gift!
How important is versatility for you?
How many ways can you make a person feel? Versatility is the love child of Expression and Impression.
Women in the Industry
What are some of the challenges that you have faced as a young woman growing up in the music industry?
The constant hypocrisy of the sexual double standards in society. It makes a seat at the table for a woman a rare sighting in the entertainment industry. Even then the patriarchy is sewn in the seams.
How have you overcome these challenges and what advice would you give to young women?
Did you feel pressured to produce an Afro-beats track, and if so why did you decide to stick to your roots?
As far as I’m concerned Svoto is an Afro-beats song. But I’m never pressured. The feeling the song gives me is what’s important.
Speaking of "Svoto", what was the inspiration behind it?
Svoto was inspired by me feeling like people should stay out of my business. I think it’s my age. I’ve got a little more hot sauce running through my veins.
Life, Loss & Legacy
Everyone has a turning point in their story. What was yours?
Becoming a mother. My appreciation and understanding of God's love. It’s quite transformative.
You have dealt with loss in recent years, yet your career went to the next level. How did you rise above it?
What keeps you going?
My son, my Ammartians, and my God.
What can we expect from Ammara Brown in the future?
Expect all my passion in a tall glass of music, videos, and tours!
A Legend in the Making
Ammara has successfully built on top of what her parents left for her. Hers is a wonderful story about triumph, hard work, and standing on her own two feet. She intends to leave what she is building for her son and other women in the industry.
