Dina Ayada is a Belgian singer with Moroccan roots who currently resides in Los Angeles. [1] In her early years she was mainly inspired by hip hop artists like DMX, Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliott, but also Arabic music had an influence on her musical evolution[1]. When she hit the age of twelve, she took her first steps in the music industry as a contestant on the Flemish version of The Voice Kids 2015, where she barely missed out on a spot in the final. In 2019 she won the Urbanice Battle of Talents, a contest organized by Belgian radio station MNM in a search for Flemish hip hop talent.[2] At the same time, a collaboration with fellow Belgian artist and producer Chuki Beats quickly amassed views on Youtube and drove her in the spotlights. In 2022 she is nominated by Complex NL as Complex 'Next Best Female' artist. [3]

The proliferation of her internet presence through Tiktoks in 2023 and her move to Los Angeles meant that she had the opportunity to establish connections with stars like Ye, Playboi Carti and Lil Tjay. As a result, she could join Lil Tjay sold-out tour through Europe. At the end of 2023, she created her first album 'Superstar!'.[1]
