With her luminous operatic vocals and fearless brand of original pop that fuses classical influences over modern beats, Aria Tesolin is taking classical music out of recital halls and churches and giving it a home on Top 40 radio. Born in 1993 in Ontario, Canada this young artist is both intriguing and complex. Also a rising spoken word poet, her multi-layered lyrics often take a deep dive into the human experience. Listen a second time and a third, and you’ll hear something new. The smooth intricacy and inner harmony of her music makes it infinitely playable. Nominated for Best New Top 40 Artist of the Year at the 2014 New Music Awards, and two Breakthrough Artist Awards in both Top 40 & AC, you want get to know this artist and her music better. Aria started singing opera arias in concert at the age of 8 with Canadian tenors, delivered with the dramatic gravitas of a young Callas. Her charismatic performances became legendary when they were posted to Youtube a few years later, reaching an audience of 7 million people. At 12, she released her first album Baby Soprano.
