Amun Starr is one of the hottest celebrities on the music charts in 2022. With a following that’s over 800k strong on Instagram, over one million on TikTok and YouTube views, and a whopping 3 million on Soundcloud, Starr is not only an accomplished musician, but also an influencer, turning heads wherever she goes, both digitally and physically. We had the good fortune of sitting down with Amun recently, and chatting a bit about her success, what it means to be topping the charts for years in a row, and what her goals for the future entail.
Amun first shot to the public eye back in 2019, when she won the Hollywood Music Award. Following that, she enjoyed a string of nominations and wins. She was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2021, and more recently, won the Soundcloud Waveform Award in 2022.
She is also known as the Pharaonic Queen and is the very first personality to shoot a music video inside the Great Pyramids of Giza, the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
She has also been the first and only person to do a photoshoot with King Tutankhamun the Pharaonic King all over the world.
We spoke with Amun about some of the biggest inspirations behind her art and her music, which she attributed to a deep fascination with Ancient Egypt, especially the god called Sekhmet. Now, for those of you not up on your Ancient Egyptian trivia, Sekhmet was the god of the hot desert sun. Well, she was also the god of chaos, plague and war, among other things, but the burning sun was her main attribute. Her name, Sekhmet, literally translates to “She who is powerful”.
And it’s no secret that Amun Starr has channeled a lot of that power and energy into her own art, and her stage performance. She is recognized by her following as a strong woman, although she herself will admit to not being as strong as her fans sometimes think. Amun Starr is a tour de force in her own right, but also a delicate, and fragile lady who sometimes needs help. As such, she wonderfully combines fragility with strength, both blending into a wonderfully varied and captivating persona.
Amun is also a mother, and quotes one of her biggest focuses in the present as balancing home life and career.
“I balance my career with my life as I have kids that I can give time and attention to for what I do, and I have a huge company that is working on everything for me that’s why we are here now.”
We also spoke a little about Amun’s plans for the future. In the next couple of years, the music star sees herself topping the charts and billboards. She has no plans of stopping or slowing down and advises young musicians to do the same. She is also a deeply helpful person, and wanted to end on the following note, to anyone just starting out in the music business:
“Anyone who needs help with music from me can email me. I would love to help people to achieve their dreams.”
