Blazian Sensation "Aya Ito" is a striking songstress with an incredibly amazing sound. A native of Tokyo, Japan, Aya is a multi-genre vocalist and songwriter. This Japanese and Black American singer has been dubbed a force of nature. As an artist, Aya has fused her talents of singing and playing the guitar and piano, while also incorporating her trilingual abilities (English, Spanish and Japanese) into her art. Aya has toured the US and Japan performing in many venues that have attracted a huge following. For many years, this standout has been wowing crowds with her spirited performances and dynamic sound. Aya also released her debut EP, "Just Might", in December of 2022. Multiple songs from this EP have been played on radio stations internationally. With her 2023 single, "Machine", Aya promotes female empowerment through her lyrics and strong belting vocals. The symbolism of being a machine can be felt by the strength in her voice. The song conveys the perseverance, strength, confidence, and ambition women need to not be deterred from accomplishing what we know we are capable of. Aya released her most recent single, "Supermodel" in 2024 featuring Ta'Rhonda Jones. Aya states “Music is something that will always be there for you. There is a song for every mood, emotion, and occasion. Being someone who creates music means that you can be a person to influence others and help them through whatever they are going through, whether it be having fun at a party, a breakup, a fight with a friend, etc. It’s a great feeling to know that you’ve made an effect on someone’s life, even strangers.”
