Aamina began her career at BMI working closely with songwriters and producers as well as learning the ins and outs of music licensing. Aamina moved on, transitioning into music management, working with top artists such as The Backstreet Boys, Mary J Blige, and 112.

In 2013, Aamina decided to pursue her interest in working in TV and Film music, securing a position at Sony Pictures Television.

Additionally, she was given the responsibility of music supervising the many TV movies that were produced by the company. 

Aamina then decided to spread her wings and go independent. She was the “on set” music director for Lee Daniels’ Fox show, STAR. For all 3 seasons, she oversaw the recording of all original music for the show. This included vocal production of the cast, securing outside featured artists, and assisting the incoming directors with executing Lee’s vision for each musical performance. 

She looks forward to continuing to work closely with creatives to assist in shaping and executing the perfect marriage between music and story!
