A Lifelong Pursuit

In college, Aliyah began pursuing music more seriously and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Vocal Performance. She studied classical and musical theater repertoire and continued her infatuation with storytelling through music. Throughout this, the longstanding question always pervaded: which style would she pick?

Aliyah has always seen music, first and foremost, as storytelling. As a kid, she studied piano and learned basic theory before joining choir. Through school choirs and talent shows, Aliyah began to discover a world of singing that seemed to beckon her in.

Musically, she enjoys discovering the places where genres converge and exploring that space beyond stylistic constraint. Her musical background has been very diverse, and these varied influences are made apparent in her genre-defying sound.

Aliyah is eternally grateful for the incredible network of musicians and friends she has made singing in Atlanta. She treasures the opportunity to do what she loves with talented, hardworking people and is constantly inspired by her musical peers.
