Aminé | Before They Were Famous | UPDATED | Biography

Before Amine would self-release a series of mixtapes that would
grab the attention of the hip-hop world, especially after he
dropped his banger single: “Caroline”. Before Amine would land
Scary Spice for his music video “Spice Girl”, and meet his
childhood crush Sporty Spice. Before Amine would have 416K
followers on Twitter, 1.5 Million followers on Instagram, and
nearly 2 Million YouTube subscribers at the time of this recording.
Amine is the type of hip-hop superstar the likes of which his
hometown Portland fanbase probably never expected to see in their
lifetimes. In the span of just five years, this 26-year-old went
from dropping out of Portland State to self-releasing mixtapes and
managed to transform himself into a major-label sensation. He’s
come a long way from sneaking into an empty room on the Portland
State campus to work on his songs and he’s managed to create a
career for himself in a city that’s more well known for its indie
rock scene than it is hip-hop thanks to his surprise breakout hit:
“Caroline”, which took a frustrated college student and turned him
into a hip-hop superstar.
