Bobby Amaru

Bobby Amaru is an American singer, songwriter, and producer best known as the lead vocalist of the hard rock band Saliva. He began his career as a drummer and frontman for bands like Burn Season and his own solo project, Amaru, before stepping into the spotlight with Saliva in 2011. His arrival brought renewed energy and a modern edge to the band, leading them through five studio releases—including Love, Lies & Therapy and the acclaimed Revelation: Retold while staying true to the band’s anthemic, blue-collar sound. Amaru’s powerful vocals and honest songwriting have fueled Saliva’s continued success, with singles like High On Me: Retold, reaching the Top 20 on Billboard’s Active Rock chart. Beyond his work with Saliva Bobby is known for his dedication to sobriety, his creative collaborations with his daughter Veda and his deep connection with fans through both music and live performance. After signing with Judge & Jury Records, Amaru and Veda have released a series of official covers, including “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush. His newest release is a cover of “Given Up” by Linkin Park, with Saliva.
