Amplify Dot

Born and raised in South London, Amplify Dot was never far from a microphone. From the age of four, a young Amplify Dot would listen to the sounds of Salt n Pepa, Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix from her uncle's Sony Walkman and the tones of The Carpenters and Barrington Levy from her dad's reel-to-reel. Before long, the musically influenced school girl was recording her first track, an answering machine rap for her parent's house phone. A.Dot recalls "I will never forget begging my mum to let me rap on our answering machine.
