Ariaa

About

Ariaa brings a new language to hip-hop. A first-generation American from a Waco, TX Iranian family, the artist draws as much from his Persian heritage as he does from the rap music. Born in Galveston and raised in Waco, everything from Dad’s Bee Gees and Michael Jackson records to Iranian music piped through the house. Diving head first into all things Hip Hop, he went from religiously listening to Lil Wayne, Drake, and 50 Cent to immersing himself in Chicago drill pioneers like Chief Keef and Lil Durk. By high school, he picked up a Guitar Hero microphone and started recording on his laptop. The Waco native has been steadily releasing loose records since 2016 via Soundcloud's platform. In 2018, Ariaa landed his first major label record deal with LAVA/Republic Records where he released his debut single with them titled "Farsi", a remix to his biggest song on his Soundcloud page. The remix was accompanied by Tallahassee legend T-Pain & has surpassed over 4 million plays worldwide to date. Since, Ariaa has been featured on music sites such as Billboard, The FADER, Lyrical Lemonade, HotNewHipHop, and has even received a co-sign from superstar influencer Dan Bilzerian himself. In 2020, Ariaa landed 2 of his songs on the NBA 2K21 next generation video game soundtrack. Most recently, in 2025, he’s been featured in Netflix’s new series “The Hunting Wives”. The big moves won't stop for Ariaa, as he rewrites the whole rule book for rap and takes it worldwide like never-before.
