Saleka

Saleka is a classically trained, Indian American musician, who began playing piano at the age of four. As the daughter of M. Night and Dr. Bhavna Shyamalan, Saleka was raised on an eclectic combination of music. Rather than attending a traditional conservatory, Saleka made a transformative decision and enrolled at Brown University to begin her journey as an R&B singer-songwriter and study both Literary Arts and Music. Saleka has performed at iconic venues across the United States, opening for both R&B legends and up-and-coming artists such as Boyz II Men, Summer Walker, Baby Rose and K. Michelle. In addition to music, Saleka uses her powerful voice to raise awareness for social justice reform, youth education and women’s rights. Saleka currently resides with her family in Philadelphia.

Meet AIA, most commonly categorized as an R&B artist, but when asked herself, AIA describes her music as “something along the lines of jazzy, funky, neo-soul-R&B.”

Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, AIA’s journey as an artist started at a young age. She discovered her passion for singing around the age of 11 and was classically trained for three years before deciding to study jazz at Howard University. AIA’s goal is to incorporate the traditional aspects of jazz, groove of funk, earthiness of neo-soul, and smoothness of R&B to create her own unique sound.
