Ameen Harron is one of the most exciting musical talents of his generation. His life-long fascination with music has pushed him to acquire knowledge and skills in a multitude of fields within the broad spectrum of musical accomplishments.

Ameen became interested in the art of DJ-ing at the age of 12, but was loath to restrict himself within any one genre and used the turntables to reflect his eclectic musical interest. The nature of being a DJ honed his ability to break down all music into its constituent parts and his DJ-ing became more than just playing other peoples music, now Ameen was using the punk, hip hop and various electronic musical genres that he loved and crafting his own sound.

At 14 Ameen began dabbling in music production on his PC and it is in the act of musical creation that he has found his niche, beyond his skills as a DJ, Ameen is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist (guitar, piano, drums, bass, percussion and flute) and has also been formally trained as a  sound engineer.

While he is still a young man, Ameen has built up an impressive body of work, having produced hit tracks on several projects by top flight urban artists in South Africa, he has featured as a producer on an international collaborative album project which brought together artists from Italy, Slovakia, Holland, Germany, Tanzania, Malawi, Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa, and is currently working with veteran South African pop artists and up and coming rock/metal bands as well as still maintaining strong links with South African hip hop.

Not content with just being the producer everybody wants to work with, Ameen has nurtured a long running project as an artists under the name W.I.M.P. (What. I.'M. Pheeling) were he has explored and developed by experimenting with the blending of a variety of sounds.

Ameen Harron has become a force to be reckoned with in South African music, having garnered attention as a producer but also recently as one of the faces of one of the fastest growing urban clothing labels in the west of South Africa F.O.C. (Fraternity Of Cape streets). 

With much anticipation for his upcoming producer album project within South African hip hop and interest from artists around Africa and soon Europe, at this point the only possible direction for this exciting young man is up.
