Ameer Brooks is an internationally known American DJ, Producer, and lover of all thing’s music from New Jersey. Ameer specializes in a culmination of House, Tech, Afro and more and has been booked with the likes of people like Black Coffee, Louie Vega, and Timmy Regisford . Currently Ameer is in college, majoring in National Security Studies and Media Arts, with a minor in African and African American Studies. Along with college Ameer continues to dj regularly and also produces original music and remixes as well. As well as school and music Ameer also is in love with the visual arts and has been fascinated with video production since childhood. Ameer looks to film series like Star Wars, Ghostbusters, and Indiana Jones as his earliest influences when it comes to visual arts.
Ameer’s earliest musical influences came due to his parents’ love for all types of music. Throughout his childhood he would become obsessed with artist like Michael Jackson, The Notorious B.I.G, and Kool and the Gang. Ameer’s Father, Muhammed Samir, listened to House Music, djs like Alan King and Naeem Johnson, often, sprouting Ameer’s later love for the genre. He was first introduced to the art of djing through a program on MTV at the age of seven, already having been loving music for years. From there his parents bought him a Numark iDJ Live and the rest was history. Soon it would be clubs at 14, festivals at 15, Miami at 16, and so on. Ameer has been playing for over 10 years, and over the years has employed several techniques to spice up his sets like playing original remixes and mashups, and playing 3-4 songs at one time.
Ameer has been booked with some of the DJ greats over the last 15 years of his djing career. In Miami at the Yuca Club in 2017 he was booked with Louie Vega, Timmy Regisford, and Ultra Naté during the Miami Music Week. Later that year he would be booked with the legendary Chosen Few DJs in Chicago. 2018 would bring the Jamaica Frenzy in which Ameer would participate in a weeklong event in Negril, Jamaica being booked with other DJs like David Harness, David Morales, Dj Spinna, DJ Spen, Salah Anase, and several other DJs. He has toured through Montreal, Atlanta, and Washington D.C. alongside Black Coffee, Themba, DJ Angelo, Blondish, and Paskal Daze. 2023 would see David Morales bringing Ameer under his wing, equipping him with a new set of tools and outlook on the music world. He would go on to perform with David in places like the Chosen Few Picinic, in front of 40K house heads, to the legendary Freddie’s Room at the Pike’s Hotel in Ibiza.
Ameer is also in pursuit of learning how to create his own legacy as an artist on the production side of things. Having started his own label, SoulMotis, with the support of his mentor, he has released several original productions that have been streamed, download, and played by Djs and Dancers globally. His production journey began officially in 2020 with the release of Are You Afraid on the British label Opom, but the introduction of SoulMotis and the release of his track Dreaming and a remix by David Morales have marked a new era in his career. He continues to learn, evolve, and discover what music means to him and what he wants his sound and legacy to become.
