Amerie
Amerie Mi Marie Rogers (born January 12, 1980),〔(This is the Georgetown University 2000 Yearbook )〕 known professionally as Amerie (Currently Ameriie), is an American recording artist, record producer and actress. She debuted in 2002 with the album ''All I Have'', primarily co-written and produced by Rich Harrison, and was well received in the urban market. In 2003, she helped develop the BET original series, ''The Center'', Which she also hosted. The series, however, was short live due to Amerie landing a starting role in the 2004 film, ''First Daughter'', alongside Katie Holmes, Marc Blucas, and Michael Keaton. In 2005, Amerie released her sophomore album ''Touch'', which spawned her biggest hit to date, 1 Thing. The song, and the album earned her two Grammy Award nominations and gained her crossover recognition. Her third album, ''Because I Love It'', achieved moderate international success in 2007, although it was not released in North America, and she was subsequently dropped from her label Columbia Records's roster. Amerie released her fourth studio album, ''In Love & War'', in 2009, her first album under Island Def Jam.
==Early life and education==
Amerie was born to Korean mother, artist Mi Suk and African American father, Charles.〔(Miss Thing – Blender )〕〔(Amerie Parents Mi Yuk and Charles Rogers )〕 A few months after she was born, the Rogers family moved to her mother's native South Korea, where Amerie lived for three years. Her father, Charles, was a chief warrant officer,〔 so Amerie traveled to and lived in many different places, including South Korea, Alaska, Texas, Virginia, and Germany. He now works for the . She has a younger sister, Angela,〔Amerie/Angela Rogers At Sprite Street Couture Showcase (1 ), (2 ) (JPG images), May 23, 2008〕 who is now her lawyer. Amerie describes her parents as conservative, protective, traditional Christians. Growing up, she and her sister were forbidden to leave the house or use the phone on school days. The singer enrolled at Georgetown University to study literature, and was in Navy ROTC: "I was in the Navy ROTC. My dad didn't force me into it or anything. I joined so I could afford an education." She quit ROTC after her sophomore year, and graduated with a BA degree in English and Fine Arts minor in design. Amerie's first language is Korean.
While studying at Georgetown, Amerie befriended a Washington, D.C. club promoter who eventually put her in touch with producer Rich Harrison.〔http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002DSM8TS Amazon Bio〕 During an interview with ''Maxim'', Amerie said she met up with Harrison at a McDonald's parking lot, and performed a song for him in her car. Rich Harrison—who had just worked on Mary J. Blige's albums ''Mary'' and ''No More Drama''—began making/developing demos with Amerie. This led to her first record deal with Harrison's Richcraft Entertainment, in collaboration with Columbia Records.〔 According to Amerie, she and Harrison immediately hit it off. In a 2002 interview, she commented "For some reason we had a very special chemistry. When we would work together something great would happen."
