Life & Work with Amaru Richburg

Today we’d like to introduce you to Amaru Richburg.

Amaru Richburg

Thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, how did you get started?
Initially, I planned my life to be a music teacher, but when I realized I would have to spend years right back in high school after I just finished high school, I left university and never turned back. Instead, I opened a new door and taught myself to write and produce music. After being confident in my productions, I released my music in Nov 2023. Still, I found my voice through my lyrics and ghetto rap poetry recently and have taken rapping seriously to expose this world to my truth.

It wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Every musician is going to struggle to be a true artist. How you maneuver these trials and tribulations defines you as an artist, especially in the hip-hop world. Just recently, I got robbed, broke my car, got temporarily handicapped, and had my father sent to jail, but out of these recent times, I was molded into a phoenix from the old me I had to leave to survive the new path I was going down. Out of this, I have been brought to new artistic heights.

As you know, we’re big fans of your work. What can you tell our readers who might not be as familiar with it?
I am a musician, and my stage name is AmaruthaG.O.D. I produce music, write songs, sing, and rap. My specialty in my music is my real lyrics, which hit you in your gut to make you think and move at the same time. I am a revolutionary at my core, using my platform to speak for the oppressed and voiceless in society. I just did my first show on 2/22, and I rocked that thing like I had been doing it for years and felt so alive.

If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
True authenticity is the most vital aspect of a brand’s character. In this world of fakes and fraudulents, people desire real things. Realness is what makes people relate and feel.
