Aima

• Refinement of her art may be directly connected to the beauty of her origin. Growing up in the Hawaiian Islands, Aima started as a poet, spinning endless paragraphs on life and love within the communities of Maui. Seeking to expand her experience and her art, Aima decided to travel to the mainland and learn more about the scene. In little to no time, Aima found herself joining hip-hop street ciphers and open mics wherever she could find them.
  
  Aima began to develop a very unique poetry/ MC style that made her stand out from the rest. Now, Aima is a fully integrated performer involved in theater troops, open mics, hip-hop productions, and spoken word poetry jams. Aima has made an imprint all over the Bay Area, working with the Mystic Family Circus, the African American Shakespeare Company, R.A.C.E., 5th element, and Herstory just to name a few. A solo artist for most of her career, Aima made several efforts to find a partner that would balance her silky sound. Of course, she did so with out much success until one day, about 5 years ago Aima met Persia.
