Artist Highlight: Amber

She is beautiful, talented, funny and just so cool. She is Amber Liu. I am a wee bit obsessed with her and her voice. She is a member of the kpop band F(X) and also does her own solo music. Learn about her, love her, appreciate her. 

Amber Josephine Liu (born September 18, 1992), known professionally as Amber or Amber Liu, is a Taiwanese American singer, rapper, songwriter and composer. She is a member of the South Korean girl group f(x). She also debuted as a solo artist in February 2015 with the release of her EP, Beautiful.



In an article about her latest album Rouge Rouge:

Musically, the first thing that really caught my ear about Rogue Rouge was that there's no rapping in this and you've always been known as "the rapper."
It's always been in me, but I'm not a rapper. I'm a singer. I rap, but I don’t consider myself a rapper. I love songwriting and rap is part of my songwriting, but I'm not a rapper. I just love singing, I love narrations, I love using my voice. It's been nearly 10 years being in this industry and I still get people who say, "She's hard, she's strong, she's so brave." No! I'm really scared of everything, I'm very, very emotional, I'm extremely soft! If you say something to me I'll be thinking about that until I go home. I wanted to be like, "Guys, I'm not who you think I am." I wanted the ability to be me.


She is recognized for her masculine/androgynous style, and to be honest that's what made me first look into her, I was confused about her gender identity and did some google searches to learn about her. She identifies as female, but loves her own style and uses it to help break down the walls of gender roles.




^ Seriously, how cute and fun is that song and video! ^


Amber, thank you for being awesome!


^ this is the video that made me google her ^
