That's how she discovered her talent and passion for music. At the beginning, before taking singing lessons, Willighagen learned by herself to sing opera arias, using YouTube tutorials. She did not know how to play instruments, so she tried to sing vocally. In that period she looked at her brother Fincent playing the violin, their mother Frieda also played the violin and the father Gerrit played the piano.
At the age of seven, during a holiday in England, she heard the aria " Nessun Dorma", performed by Luciano Pavarotti. She grew up surrounded by classical music. Amira Willighagen speaks both Dutch and Afrikaans because she was born to a Dutch father and a South African mother whose mother tongue is Afrikaans.
