Of Middle Eastern descent, she blends smooth R&B with subtle Arabian scales to create a sound that feels both soulful and distinctive. Inspired by artists like Aaliyah, Beyoncé, and SZA, her music explores love, heartbreak, and the raw emotions that come with it. Aida learned to sing in English before she learned to speak it, and music has been her way of feeling alive ever since. Writing her own lyrics and producing her vocals, she pours real experiences into songs that move between vulnerability, confidence, and moments made to dance. Currently working on her upcoming EP, Aida is carving out a bold, intimate space that’s entirely her own.

Stepping into a new chapter of songwriting, she incorporates elements of jazz, soul and blues filled with emotional richness and depth. She tackles her inner vulnerability by writing lyrics and melodies that soothe the conscience. With a background in storytelling and poetry, she pours her heart and soul into each syllable, taking her listeners with her on a visceral journey of love, heartbreak and devotion to the past that made her.
