Treya Lam - Magic (Original Song) | Amplified

Treya Lam performs their original song “Magic“ in an exclusive live recording session in Brooklyn, NY. Magic was written as a gift to a friend of mine who was about to have a child and the verses allude to their story. The chorus of the song was written in response to the Sandy Hook shootings as a prayer for the surviving children to hold onto their innocence. Beyond this, Magic is a song about slowing down and protecting your inner child and caring for our Mother Earth Treya Lam is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter whose joyously complex identity informs but does not define their work, whether solo or when collaborating with a variety of multidisciplinary ensembles. Their strident voice politically charged songwriting, and fluent instrumental prowess on guitar, piano, and strings recalls Nina Simone and Andrew Bird. Their debut album Good News was created entirely by an all-women and gender-nonconforming team and released via Kaki King’s label, Short Stuff Records. Lam is currently developing otherland - an audiovisual chamber-folk album on radical self-acceptance, intersecting identities, and healing in the wake of grief and loss. Lam is an active member of the Resistance Revival Chorus and has their song Dawn featured on their debut album This Joy - released on Ani Difranco’s Righteous Babe Records. Treya was a resident at Joe’s Pub in 2019 and frequently works with ecotheatre company Superhero Clubhouse. Lam has performed original music at Lincoln Center, the Prospect Park Bandshell, MASS MoCA, Greenwood Cemetery, the American Museum of Natural History, and the New York Public Library.
