Born on the island ofDominica, Amaziah Moses a.k.a Aima Moses grew up in the village of kingshill.Aima came from a poor church going family which consisted of three brothers andone sister. Every member of the family contributed to music by singing orplaying a musical instrument. He was very close to his mother and is still veryclose. One of the reasons for this is her undying love, understanding andaffection towards her children.

Attending the Newtown primary school Aima wasa member of the school choir, which made him more interested in music. Whileattending high school he participated in a few music contests. One of which hefree styled his song on stage because the song which he was to performoriginally was very political, approaching the stage he startled, for the PrimeMinister was sitting up front. Aima paused for a moment knowing that hispolitical song would discomfort the Prime minister and alter the judges’decision during the competition. However he free styled another song and placed2nd.

Aima, even though inlove with music was also interested in business and agriculture. Hisinspirations in music stems from the 80s and 70s Pop, Rock, Soul, Jazz, Hip hopto reggae greats like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Shabba Ranks, Capleton, Michael Jackson,Lionel Richie and Sade, among others. Although his musical attainment stertedfrom an early age, his real interest in music began from high school days whenhe and his close friend Michael would listen to Caribbean and American musicrhythms, then create songs to those rhythms. Realizing that he showed moreinterest towards music he started visiting record shops on his own like ‘MusicLand’ in the town of Roseau, there he would ask for his songs to be recordedwith the familiar rhythms. Aima saysthat he adored music with a passion and that his initial feelings in pursuingthis career was such of excitement and a challenge knowing that it wouldn’t be easy.

The love for music and teaching others throughthe art form, seeing what is going on around him, the injustices in the worldalso keeps him writing and making music.
