Aqyila

In 2021, Toronto R&B artist Aqyila’s debut single “Vibe for Me (Bob for Me)” earned her a JUNO Award nomination for ‘Contemporary R&B Recording of the Year,’ marking the beginning of her rise as a songwriter. Her debut EP For the Better featured the hit single “Hello,” which won the 2024 JUNO Award for ‘Traditional R&B/Soul Recording of the Year.’

In 2024, Aqyila released “Bloom,” an instant viral success. The track has been certified Platinum in South Africa, while “Hello” achieved Gold status. “Bloom” also charted on the Spotify Daily Viral 50 in 21 countries. With over 128 million worldwide streams and 3 billion short-form video views, Aqyila has been featured in influential outlets such as InStyle, Essence, and Complex.

The momentum has only grown in 2025, which has included a North American tour supporting Pink Sweat$ and two JUNO nominations: 'Contemporary R&B Recording of the Year' for "Bloom" and 'Traditional R&B/Soul Recording of the Year' for "Limbo." She will also take the stage as a featured performer at this year's JUNO Awards broadcast on March 30, airing on CBC.

Aqyila's songwriting, lyricism, and performances continue to reach new heights—and she's just getting started.
