Baltimore's R&B Soul powerhouse Aja Maria arrives as an emerging artist who doesn't just sing, she transmits. Raised on the sounds of Anita Baker, Sade, and Tank, her music blends R&B and soul with heavy emotion and an unapologetic sense of truth. Aja made her television debut singing on “Its Showtime at the Apollo” at the mere age of 9 and debuted as Lil Inez in the 8 Tony Award Winning Broadway show "Hairspray". Her voice-smooth yet aching carries stories of heartbreak, healing, and raw self-worth. After a five-year hiatus, she's back with her debut album produced by King Midas, a vulnerable, soul-drenched statement piece that refuses to play by industry rules.
More than just a vibe, Aja is a force. She doesn't chase trends-she builds sanctuaries with sound. Her work is deeply intentional, echoing themes of love, loss, sensuality, and spiritual growth. Whether it's a lyric, a look, or a moment on stage, everything she touches is rooted in impact. Her mission?
Shift culture. Move people. And create art that hits deeper than the charts - for the people who need it most. Television/Film Credits Include: Law & Order: SVU, Boy Wonder, and Perfect Man.
