Grammy®
For Your
Consideration
“Welcome, and thank you for being here!
As an independent R&B artist from the Bay Area, every recording I create is a reflection of passion, persistence, and a genuine love for the music. Without the backing of a major label, I've had the freedom to build my own path, collaborate with incredible talent, and continue challenging myself creatively.
I'm proud to share these three recordings for GRAMMY® consideration, each highlighting a different part of my artistry through vocal performance, collaboration, and songwriting.
I hope you'll take a moment to listen, explore the stories behind the music, and experience the artistry that went into each recording.
Thank you for your time, your ears, and your consideration.”
Best R&B Collaboration or Duo/Group Performance
“Imma Pull UP”
Amber Essence ft. Robert Curry
Collaborating with Robert Curry of DAY26 challenged me to explore a new level of vocal expression. Working closely with my vocal coach, I pushed beyond what I'd previously captured on record, incorporating powerful belts, intricate runs, and layered harmonies that complemented Robert's dynamic performance. The result is a collaboration that represents both our vocal chemistry and a defining moment of artistic growth for me.

“Love You right back”
Best R&B Collaboration or Duo/Group Performance
Amber Essence & K4
With “Love You Right Back,” I approached my performance with a deeper understanding of how vocal delivery can bring a story to life. Working with my engineer, I focused on intentional phrasing, expressive harmonies, and emphasizing the moments that carry the song's emotion. My goal was to make every lyric feel genuine while creating a vocal performance that complemented K-4's artistry and stayed true to my own sound.

Best R&B Song
“Belaire Naked”
Amber Essence
I wrote “Belaire Naked” around a playful double entendre, crafting lyrics that can be interpreted in two ways: a celebration of champagne or an intimate evening between two consenting adults. I wanted both meanings to coexist naturally throughout the song, giving listeners the freedom to discover their own interpretation. It's a reflection of my love for clever, expressive R&B songwriting that balances sensuality with a little mystery.
