Amir Izadkhah, also known as Amir Amor, is a British record producer, musician and songwriter. From late 2011, he has been a member of the band Rudimental. Amor is the founder of London record label and recording studio Major Toms.〔(Major Tom's: Ones To Watch 2012 In Association With PUMA | Urban Development )〕 His production and writing credits include Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Charlie XCX, Maximo Park, Peace, Yuck, Marina and the Diamonds, Wretch 32, Angel Haze and MNEK amongst many others. Through his work with Rudimental he has won the 2014 Brit Award for Best Single of the Year, the Mobo Award for Best Album, and has achieved multiple platinum awards for record sales in multiple countries.〔see Rudimental discography〕 Amor was tipped as the "No. 1 new producer to watch" by ''The Guardian'', and listed by ''NME'' magazine as one of the "20 hottest producers in music right now".〔(Pictures of 20 hottest producers in music right now - Photos - NME.COM )〕 Some of the other names on the bill were Paul Epworth, Mark Ronson, Dr. Luke and Rick Rubin.〔 == Early life == Amor began life amidst the Iran–Iraq War in Tehran, Iran. The son of an air force Colonel and a high school science teacher, he spent his early years unable to enrol into school and escaping to shelters amidst regular bomb raids. In 1992, Amor, his mother and sister arrived to London separated from his father and brothers. Moving from spare room, to lodge, and at times, to the street. Unable to communicate in English, Amor and his sister were rejected by many schools. However, once placed, the lack of school experience that Amor had, spelt a difficult time fitting in, and staying in. He was often dismissed, preferring to wander and discover the deep corners of London for hours on his own. Amidst this ample spare time he discovered a cassette player with an accidental function – the ability to overdub. Experiments in beatboxing over tracks began.〔 Soon, his family was partially reunited and Amor's father and one brother rejoined the family. They were finally able to find their first home together. First in Ladbroke Grove, and then in Somers Town, with Amor beginning his educational trials at Gladstone Park, St Peters, and Edith Neville. With the family mostly together again, a roof over their heads, and a sense of stability emerging – Amir finally began to feel a sense of settling in. Learning to call Camden his stomping ground, and staying enrolled at his graduating school, Haverstock. Here, his growing community began to introduce him to a new culture – of hip hop, graffiti, pirate radio stations, and their potential. Amor learnt how to graffiti, latched onto pirate radio setups, honed in on record stores and quickly amassed a worthy cassette collection of hip hop, funk, soul, alternative rock and electronic music. Then at 14, a chance encounter with a music production software demo without a save function resulted in his first ever (accidentally) recorded production, "Jaws", a garage track that soon spread around his school and ended up selling for a 50p a cassette.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amir Amor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
