Amerii In Da Housse!

She had massive success following her chart-topping first single ‘1 Thing’. Anthony Gilét finds out what’s up with Ameriie!

So, tell me Ameriie, what’s with the two iis?

It’s just something I wanted to do is the best way to explain it. It’s been like that for 5 years, but of course not everyone knows that.

Right! Because you’ve been gone for a while?

Yes! To me it doesn’t feel that long, but obviously in the industry, three years is like a lifetime!

Tell me a bit about your new single!

Well, ‘What I Want’ is off the album ‘Billy’ coming out early next year. It’s high-energy, has the drums that I love, and that pop feel.

Are you excited about performing at G-A-Y?

I did it before and loved it! It’s all gonna be very high-energy!

OK, So keeping that under wraps! We’re gonna play a little game… I’ve created some questions based on the titles of your previous hits. You’re up in the club, and see your man getting cosey with some cheap skank, how would you ‘Take Control’ of the situation?

That would never happen, because if a guy’s with me – he’s not looking at her!

Your house is on fire, what’s the 1 Thing you’d save?

Family photos!

Who was your first ever Crush?

Oh, I don’t remember! Somebody when I was about six.

Which celebrity do you secretly wanna ‘Touch’?

Oh, it’s only Mr. Nicholson [her husband].

Where’s your ‘Paradise’?

I think Anguilla, near St. Barts. It’s where we got married, it’s so beautiful.

Finish this sentence… “It’s been such a long day, All I Need is…”

Pizza!

And a cocktail, right?
