AIDA can be found at the intersection of two contrasting worlds: rich Iranian roots and a serene west-coast Canadian upbringing. This dichotomy is infused in everything she crafts. It’s here that she blends various genres with a mastery of someone who lives and creates at the boundary of their duality. Combining elements of world-inspired music with electronic, she gives colorful twists to masterful blends of groovy house, techno, and breaks geared for the dancefloor.
Her duality extends beyond her music career into yet another realm of the senses. As a designer, AIDA is a rare entity fully dedicated to creativity and movement. Embodied with focus and discipline, she inspires others that it’s possible to excel where they find themselves at an intersection, crossroad, boundary. . . or just a dancefloor.
