A couple of days ago she released her first official single "Beautiful Strange" and our Music Never Sleeps editor Ognjen didn't need more reasons to chat with her about the new single, upcoming album, her musical influences and more.
Read the full interview and watch "Beautiful Strange" below the cut.
Aria: My biggest inspiration is Madonna because she is a strong woman and got her career going for more than 30 years, and that's impressive.
MNS: You were in Paradiso Girls. Are you still in contact with other girls?
Aria: Yes, Lauren [Bennett] is still my best friend! I see her all the time, we don't live far from each other. But the other girls don't live in Los Angeles so I don't see them that much.
MNS: You've released your video "Butterfly" on YouTube, are you pleased with people's reactions for now?
Aria: Yes! It's a fun song, but my first official single is called "Beautiful Strange" and it just came out.
MNS: Can you explain the message behind "Beautiful Strange"?
Aria: "Beautiful Strange" is all about being strange and weird. It's about being yourself and still being beautiful no matter what. That's all that matters - to be true to who you are!
MNS: When can we expect your album?
Aria: Soon... Before the end of the year for sure. I'll have an American and a French album.
MNS: Can you tell us music influence on your album?
Aria: My music is influenced by my day to day life and people I meet, really... Nothing else, I'm just writing and getting my inspiration from life.
MNS: Who are you working with on your debut album?
Aria: I'm doing my whole album with a producer named Frederik Thaae, he is Danish and amazing!
MNS: Is there anyone special you'd like to work with?
Aria: Yes! I would love to do a duet with Eminem, and I hope it will happen soon.
