Ama formed in Austin, Texas in fall 2014 with Blair Robbins, Alex Peterson, Sam Jordan, and Miles Kelley comprising the original lineup. Robbins spent several years prior to Ama’s formation gigging as a guitarist, keyboardist, and bassist with other bands in Austin’s independent, garage, and psych rock circles, as well as singing backup vocals on tracks for nationally-recognized acts Spoon, Peter Matthew Bauer (formerly of the Walkmen), and Walker Lukens. After ten years of quietly honing their songwriting, Robbins found self-confidence and encouragement from friends to lead Ama. Ama serves as a vessel to transmit Robbins’ vulnerable and esoteric songwriting through dynamic rock 'n’ roll and visual art (see Robbins’ artwork here).
