From Secular to Sacred: Adamariz’s Musical Evolution
Published on October 8, 2024
In a captivating interview on Holy Culture Radio, hosted by J. Harrington, rising artist Adamariz shares her inspiring journey of faith, music, and personal growth. Let’s delve into the life and experiences of this talented musician who has become a beacon of hope for her listeners.
Discovering Faith and Finding Direction
Adamariz’s path to Christianity has not been straightforward. Growing up within the Christian community, she admittedly drifted away during her high school years, when her actions often contradicted her beliefs. However, it was through a series of challenging experiences that she began to recognize God’s protective hand over her life. Encouraged by her mother to attend a camp focused on breaking generational curses, she started cutting ties with her past and began a transformative journey toward spiritual growth. This newfound focus even permeated her music, evident in the evolution of her sound and message.
A Music Career Rooted in Faith
Music has always been a significant part of Adamariz’s life, inspired by her grandmother, who would write songs and sing around the house. Hearing this, Adamariz made a promise to herself and to God to release any song she felt inspired by Him. At just 17, she began creating what she calls “borderline” music—music that straddled the line between secular and spiritual. However, a pivotal moment during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 dictated a change in her musical direction, as she felt God calling her to create music for those who feel lost or misunderstood, particularly Christians seeking their place in the world.
Embracing Change and Growth
In 2022, Adamariz shed her previous artist name, Long Live Adamariz, marking a period of artistic and personal growth. This change, prompted by divine direction, resulted in noticeable growth both in her listenership and in the recognition of her talent. Her decision to embrace this new musical identity has allowed her to explore different sounds and solidify her place as a notable artist in the Christian rap scene.
Overcoming Challenges
While Adamariz acknowledges the challenges of being a female in the Christian rap world, she chooses to focus on constructive elements such as improving her mixing and mastering skills and managing finances. These obstacles have only driven her to strive for excellence in her craft, producing quality music that resonates with her growing audience, evidenced by her 10,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
Looking to the Future
Despite the uncertainty of what the future holds, Adamariz remains open to divine guidance, anticipating a significant shift in her musical journey post the release of her upcoming album in October. Her growth trajectory suggests exciting developments ahead, with her remaining attuned to the changes God might bring her way.
Upcoming Project
Living in the Goodness of God Adamariz’s upcoming album explores personal themes such as navigating life without a father and finding God as a father figure, ultimately celebrating the goodness of God in her life. The album offers a deeply personal and detailed narrative, providing listeners with an insight into her ongoing journey of faith and self-discovery. You can find Adamariz’s music on all major streaming platforms under the name Adamariz and follow her on social media via @AdamarizRaps for updates and more engaging content. Her journey is a testament to the resilience and faith that guides her, a story as compelling as the music she creates.
