She was born on November 27th in 1995 as Amegah Paulina Timson. She loved music while growing up but it became a passion later in life during school. She joined the school choir and later began recording in studios in 2nd Year of her High School (in 2013).
“With my first song I got featured by colleague in school to sing the chorus of his song. From then on, I got people asking me to sing their chorus for them as well that’s how come I started doing my own songs as well”.
Amalina admires Beyoncé a lot.
“I admire Beyoncé for being able to sing and be recognized for such great and wild talent she has; that motivated me feel to inch further and hone my craft so I can also be heard too and recognized for doing great music that influences people” — Amalina

CAREER
“I met my immediate boss (JMJ — Joshua Raphaelson) through recommendation from a friend. He took an interest in my talent and hence got signed, so I’m here to work and feed music to the world and create influence”, Amalina intimated.
For Amalina, music is a lifestyle, and it’s something that humanity can do without. Taking time to hone her craft and finally moving into music market professionally as a thoroughbred musician is something priceless for her. The creative process alone she says is a ‘growth’.
“Music is Life, Music is Soul Food, music is that which you can express without necessarily forcing people to accept or know how you feel but with rhythm and melody making all the communication for you and the audience” — Amalina
JR Music, a Ghana-based indie Record Label powered by renowned Ghanaian Music Producer, JMJ, (real name, Joshua Raphaelson) outdoored it maiden signee, Amalina, unto the music scene in 2020.
Just after Amalina got signed in 2020, she dropped 3 banging singles to fill up the last quarter of 2020 to test the waters. Her debut single “Thomas Partey” swept everyone off their feet when it struck the airwaves. From DJs to Presenters of different radio show hosts, the song was a perfect fit for the ears and was timely especially at the time Europe-based Ghanaian Footballer, Thomas Partey, has been having a sterling showmanship on the pitch and just got signed to international football giant team, Arsenal.

To add more pleasure on pleasure, Amalina doubled her speed and dropped 2 extra bangers “Fire” and “All Night Long”. She enjoyed some good Airplay to fill up the year and announce her entry, unto the Ghanaian music scene.
All these while, Amalina remained a ghost!
Amalina’s face was unknown! Like a ghostwriter, she only serves audience a dose of what to consume while keeping her face off public eye. Only Management of JR Music knew who this lady of a singer is and how she looks. Great marketing ploy to test the waters.
After the 3 singles, Amalina took a dive back and held on releases for 10 months until she would fully pop up her face, but this time, with music videos and photos all over her social media pages to officially outdooring her visual presentation.
Amalina isn’t the artiste who wants to be boxed in one genre; for her, music has to be global and communicate all the worldly sounds, lyrics and ensembles. She is from Ghana, in Africa, she does indigenous African music (Highlife, Afrobeats) as well as Reggae, Dancehall, Soca. She’s versatile in RnB, Soul and even Hiphop — she just wants to be known as a “Musician” with no limits to genre.
FOCUSED GENRE
Amalina even though, versatile and can experiment with all types of genre, the focused genre for her is Afro-fusion, Reggae, Afro-Dancehall, Afro-RnB and Afro-Pop, Amapiano, Highlife.
