OFFICIAL AMERIE THREAD @ SOOMPI FORUMS
since Amerie's been getting more and more popular and having more and more press, i felt it was time for her to have a proper official thread. Yes there was a thread on her already, but it lacked any real structure. So welcome to Amerie's new Soompi thread! Please feel free to add any news and or pics that you may have in your personal collection

NAME:Amerie Mi Marie Rogers
STAGE NAME: Amerie (에므리)
DOB:01.12.80
DEBUT:2002
BIO:''Singer Amerie is the daughter of a Korean mother and an African-American father who was a career military member. She grew up on bases from Alaska to Germany, meanwhile gaining an appreciation of the classical arts from her mother and of R&B music from her father. She studied dance from an early age and performed in talent contests throughout her youth. After her high school graduation, her family finally settled down in Virginia, while she began to attend Georgetown University, from which she later graduated with a degree in English and Fine Arts. While living in Washington, D.C., she met producer Rich Harrison, who worked with such performers as Mary J. Blige, and began developing demos with him. They led to a deal with Rise Entertainment and, in turn, with Columbia Records. In the spring of 2002, Rise/Columbia released Amerie's debut single, "Why Don't We Fall in Love." By the time her first album, All I Have, appeared that July, the single had reached the Top 20 of the R&B/hip-hop charts and the Top 40 of the pop charts. Her follow-up albu, Touch, was released in 2005. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide''
SIBLINGS: sister, Angela Rogers (also her lawyer)
HOBBIES: singing, dancing, acting
INTERESTING FACTS: Amerie's first language is Korean, but when they moved to the US, her mother limited the use of the language in fear of them not being able to learn English proficiently. She does however speak conversational Korean to her immediate and extended Korean family. She also has her name in korean (에므리) tattooed on her lower back to celebrate her Korean heritage, and she has been known to give autographs in both English and Korean script. Amerie is also an actress. She can be seen in the movie First Daughter playing the character of Mia Thompson.
