AHSIA, an accomplished artist born in Philadelphia and raised in Vancouver, Canada, has made a name for herself with her versatile blend of R&B, Soul, Jazz, Afrobeat, and Hip-Hop. From a young age, her passion for music was evident, and she has since captivated audiences across British Columbia. AHSIA’s commitment to empowering young people and amplifying the voices of marginalized communities, including the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, is at the heart of her work. She uses her platform to advocate for anti-oppression and black empowerment movements, making her more than just a musician but a beacon of hope and change.
Beyond her music, AHSIA is actively involved in protests throughout the lower mainland, lending her voice to amplify the voices of those who have been silenced. She bravely shares her struggles with mental health and identity as a queer woman of color through her art, highlighting the importance of self-love, acceptance, and confronting societal prejudices. Her dedication to these causes has earned her the nickname “Young Wonder,” and it’s easy to see why.
AHSIA’s newest single, “BLACK WOMAN,” is a powerful reminder to black women everywhere to never dim their light.

This single is a testament to AHSIA’s ability to combine her musical talents with her unwavering commitment to empowering and uplifting marginalized communities. Her music is not just a form of entertainment but a call to action, urging listeners to embrace their true selves and stand up against oppression.
