Aiyana-Lee cannot be put in a box. Combining elements of pop, R&B and soul with poignant, heartfelt lyrics about her lived experiences, she creates music that transcends genres. The singer-songwriter’s powerhouse vocals are captivating listeners, with her recent single “Bedroom” amassing more than 2.2 million streams on YouTube to date.
Aiyana Lee grew up surrounded by music. Her mother, manager, and creative partner, Nicole Daciana Anderson, is a multiplatinum singer-songwriter (BLUE), her uncle was David Ruffin of The Temptations, and her grandfather was famed American soul singer Jimmy Ruffin. With such a rich musical history, it was inevitable she would follow in her famed family’s footsteps. She began singing at age two, a charismatic toddler who would jump on stage any chance she got – especially while joining her mother on tour.
Most recently, she was discovered by legendary music producer LA Reid, who signed Aiyana-Lee to his entertainment company & record label, HITCO.
Now 20, Aiyana-Lee has honed her skills and sound to create a stunning forthcoming debut album, which draws on experiences from her own life. Her songs offer lessons about staying true to yourself, avoiding the superficial trappings of Hollywood, the perils of abusive relationships, and prioritizing yourself and your dreams over romance.
