Amani Burnham Signs with Blind Pig Records

Blind Pig Records is thrilled to announce the signing of 20-year-old guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Amani Burnham. The Connecticut-based artist, known for his explosive and authentic collision of blues and rock, brings an electrifying new energy to the modern music landscape.

Burnham's emergence has been meteoric. In less than two years, he amassed more than 20 million views on TikTok, with millions more across Instagram and other social media platforms. His remarkable guitar work, characterized by the unique use of his thumb, oozes with raw emotion that resonates throughout his passionate singing and evocative songwriting.

Jeff Schroedl of Blind Pig Records says, "Amani has that rare gift where music flows through him in a way you can't teach or manufacture. His playing channels something primal and visceral that immediately captures your attention, and his songwriting is beyond his years. We're excited to welcome such a talented artist and performer to our label, and can't wait to see where his music takes him."

Burnham draws on the pure power of the classic blues trio—just guitar, bass, and drums. Joined by bassist Steve Griffith and drummer Emil Berube, his stripped-down and dynamic playing hits with clarity and force, delivering a sound that’s both intimate and thunderous. The passion in his performance is unmistakable.

Amani shares his excitement about this new chapter: "I'm happy to be working with Blind Pig Records, and I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!"

Production on Burnham's debut will begin later this year, with the first album under the multi-record deal to be released in 2026.
