Born Ready in South London, Amplify Dot was never far from a microphone. From the age of four, a young Amplify Dot would listen to the sounds of Salt n Pepa, Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix from her uncle's Sony Walkman. Before long, the musically influenced school girl was recording her first track. An answering machine rap for her parent's house phone. A.Dot recalls "I will never forget begging my mum to let me rap on our answering machine. She gave in eventually. I'm pretty sure people would phone our house just to hear it!" A Dot went quickly from answering machines to sold out venues.
