Nick-Name AMillion Ways, also known as A Milli is an artist, beat maker and producer in the Hip-Hop/Rap/R&B music scene from Brooklyn, NY. Since 2004, she‘s been in and out of the studio recording, Making beats for other artists & producing for upcoming artists. In NY, AMillion Ways is known as Dat shy girl who raps & makes beats. AMillion Ways has been involved in countless projects, from producing other artists, to making records of her own. Only an artist with her background and point of views can merge two different styles of rap that combines the different ideology of real hip-hop and conscious rap...also including her smooth flow R&B for the Ladies.

The first rap artist AMillion Ways really listened to was Jay-Z, in 1996 (Reasonable Doubt LP). Her cousin Logic Beatz Introduced her to it. Before that, every other rap song was just some crazy person saying ‘yo‘ and ‘ugh‘. When AMillion Ways understood the hip-hop movement better, she was inspired by Jay-Z‘s knowledge and wisdom. How everything Jay said was real, and his poetry had real meanings. Jay-Z was hungry for this rap movement, and AMillion Ways could FEEL his struggle for it. With this new love for hip hop, AMillion Ways would listen to every artist that she came across. She would listen to whatever she would find, from Nas to Biggie, to Jadakiss, to Eminem, 2Pac, The Game, Cassidy, DMX, Canibus, Roc-a-fella and everything she heard on the radio. Ever since she was introduced to rhyming and poetry, she gained interest in writing her own poetry. She would take time to read poetry books, figuring out what rhymed and what didn‘t. Overtime, this love for hip hop poetry and writing became a hobby. AMillion Ways spent a lot of time on her own writing raps page after page, anything that would come to her mind. AMillion Ways started writing anything that had a rhyme to it. She didn‘t care if it made any sense at all at first. But through this practice, she was able to elevate and build her own concept and meanings to her lyrics. AMillion Ways never thought of pursuing music as a future career until 2004. In 2004, AMillion Ways started recording herself on a tape player and listening to it over and over. One day in high school at lunch, AMillion Ways gathered a group of her crew and started flowing at the lunch tables. Day by day, different people battling each other for the respect. This was the official day that introduced AMillion Ways to truly get better at what she does and get serious about it. So the next day, she came back to school with a verse memorized and started rapping. Not surprised, AMillion Ways was taken for a joke, because her lyrics were weak and the fact that she was female. But it never bothered her much. She understood that being an female rapper was going to be a challenge, so she had no choice but to prove what she was made of through battling. This was the fuel to call herself a warrior because she never gave up no matter what anybody said to her. At the end, she came back strong....stronger than ever.

A few months later, she began researching hip hop on the internet, and used the internet as a tool to practice battling and get structural feedbacks on her lyrics. This was the key source that made her a better writer. AMillion Ways started off recording in her room with her crew with a five dollar microphone and a program called Cubase LE. With that twenty dollar microphone, AMillion Ways started recording consistently, finishing five songs a night. She became more than just another rapper. She was now an artist. She soon began networking with friends who were doing the same and formed a small rap group called Brooklyn All-Stars which featured some people she grew up with. They began recording, and released their first album called Brooklynites which was a compilation of different verses on different instrumentals. Even though the album wasn‘t all that good, it was embraced well by the School in Brooklyn, because everyone was looking for something new in the Brooklyn youths. AMillion Ways and her friends began selling cds at school, on the Internet, community events and everywhere they had access to. With the small success of Brooklynites, AMillion Ways also known as A Milli began recording for a solo album called The Element of Hip Hop. While in class one day, she was passing out her cd‘s, when her teacher asked to play one of her songs on her stereo. She was so inspired by AMillion Ways‘ realism and poetry that AMillion Ways was asked to perform for the school, and that‘s when the exposure started coming.

Since then, AMillion Ways had been releasing LPs (Albums) to promote for exposure year after year. Only being a young artist, she felt that she needed more exposure. She released albums like The Elements of Hip Hop, Ready for War, Vol. 1. Throughout these years she has been given nick-names like Kaos aka Da Babyface Kid, Doc Holiday & Young Chaos, But she finally caught a name to stick with her.. AMillion Ways. AMillion Ways will not stop until her goals are reached. She wants to make change in the music industry. So day by day, AMillion Ways is constantly waiting for her chance, and once it comes...........it‘ll be time!
