Toronto-based viral star AJA reveals mammoth debut single "Nerve"
Former YouTube sensation and viral star Aja Neinstein previously released music under her social handle Aja9, but reemerges as simply AJA with a powerful new sound and single to boot.
The Toronto-based singer/songwriter is already rocking almost two hundred thousand followers on Instagram. AJA, pronounced Asia, was somewhat of a child prodigy, raised on the classic rock songs and the sounds of jazz titans she signed a publishing deal at age 12. With "Nerve" she's stepping in a different direction.
““Nerve” is an empowerment song to inspire people to stand up for what they believe in” Neinstein explains, she add that she wants it to serve as an anthem “to defy the norms and words we are often called as women.” She makes it clear that ultimately the only person you should be held accountable by is yourself.
On this new track, which serves as her first official release, you can hear those early influences clearly, but the most striking thing, as ever, is Neinstein's powerful voice. This is the start of new chapter in which AJA is set to explore her growing independence, the highs and lows of relationships and her own, ever-increasing self-discovery.
