Amariah Poni Lodiong has created something truly special. The 8-year-old girl’s latest single, Africa, released on July 30, 2025, is more than just a song; it’s a celebration of African pride, unity, and legacy.
With her strong voice and meaningful lyrics, Amariah Poni Lodiong proves that age doesn’t limit impact. From the very first beat, Africa grabs your attention with its joyful Afrobeats rhythm. The music is lively and full of energy, making it perfect for dancing, singing along, or simply feeling proud of where you come from. But what makes this song stand out is the message behind it.
Before Africa, Amariah released Impossible and Rejoice, which won awards at the London Music Awards, Paris Film Award, and New York Movie Awards. She also wowed audiences at Kids Got Talent 2025 in Atlanta and performed live at the LAMV Music Awards in Hollywood.
From modelling at NYC Fashion Week to acting in commercials and films, Amariah proves that talent has no age limit. Her music, especially Africa, shows that she’s not just performing; she’s leading a movement.
Africa’s Strength in Lyrics
Amariah’s lyrics are simple, yet powerful. She sings, “Oh Mama, Oh Mighty Africa!” “Strong, sweet legacy” reminds listeners that Africa is not just a place; it’s a story of strength, beauty, and history. In another line, she says, “Oh, Africa, Africa. My motherland, we are one people, one voice, one dream.” These words speak to the heart, encouraging everyone to feel connected, no matter where they live.
For a child to write and perform such meaningful lyrics is mind-blowing. It shows how deeply Amariah understands her roots and how much she wants others to feel proud of theirs, too.
Inspiration & A Mission to Help Others
Popular children’s creators like Gracie’s Corner, Ghetto Kids, Culture Queen, and The Kumba Kids inspire Amariah’s musical style. These influences help shape her sound into something fun, educational, and full of life. But Amariah adds her twist, blending music with messages of faith, hope, and love.
Her family plays a big role in her journey. With help from her brothers Abijah and AJ, she creates harmonies that make Africa feel like a group celebration. Her producer also helps bring her ideas to life, crafting beats that are easy to enjoy and hard to forget.
Amariah’s story goes beyond the studio. She’s not just a singer; she’s a student, a volunteer, and a leader. She’s spent time in African refugee camps and orphanages, helping children and families while working on her music. Her dream is to build a school and orphanage in Africa, using her songs to raise support and bring people together.
