FOR the first time since changing her name, singersong­writer, Amaar Brown, will host an intimate one-woman session in Gaborone on Friday night.

The event, dubbed ‘Amaar Brown Unplugged Intimate Session’ will be hosted at the Showcase venue at Molapo and is expected to start from 8pm.

Speaking to Voice Entertainm­ent as she fine-tunes her preparatio­ns for the show, the artist formerly known as Amantle Brown promised fans an electric ‘two-hour’ set in ‘the performanc­e of her life’.

“I will be performing all my songs from my first single, which I dropped back in 2016. I will be giving attendants a storyline of my profession­al music career right from inception,” revealed Amaar Brown, who will be accompanie­d by a live band on the night.

Explaining the reason behind her name change and rebrand from Amantle Brown, she admitted she was finding it difficult to register and patent her ideas.

The singer famously came under fire back in 2019, when a ‘spat’ with an up and coming Shakawebas­ed MC went public and the ‘Black Mampatile’ star was accused of bullying.

The issue was over the rights to the ‘ Amantle Brown’ name, which was the MC’S birth name while Amaar’s real name was Amantle Ntshole. The MC rightly argued there was no way she could change her name as it was her birth right.

“I have had to rebrand and fortunatel­y people are warming up to my new name. Nothing has changed really: the talent and music remain the same!” declared the pint-sized singer.

Tickets for Friday’s showstoppe­r cost P200.
