Aaries

 

In the year of 2002 when you hear the word AARIES it will take on a new meaning. No longer will it be just a Zodiac sign. It will mean beauty, truth, warmth, melodic harmonies, and most of all soul. The duo AARIES that consist of Ayana Hipps & Ayinke Hipps have waited patiently for their turn at speaking the true stories of their lives and the lives of those that surround them. Their genre is R&B Soul music with topics that deal with everyday life situations and the trials and tribulations of becoming a woman.

 

In their hometown of Arlington, VA a love for music began to develop while singing in the church choir. It was there that they began to appreciate their angelic voices and noticed that people were listening. AARIES now resides in Philadelphia, PA a city that is full of people that live for and love music. Soon after the move they began to develop there writing skills as well as create a sound that fit their style. The fact that they are sisters only enhances the perfection of their voices when blended together to create a sound like no other.

 

They are currently signed to Mama's Boys/Atlantic. AARIES was featured on Musiq Soulchild's debut album Aijuswanaseing (I Just Wanna Sing). Ayana was featured on "Girl Next Door" while they both were featured on "Settle for My Love". AARIES is currently performing with Musiq and a host of other artist such as Bilal, Jaguar, The Roots, and many other artists on the Levi's Jam Session Tour in major markets.

 

Their goal is to make timeless as well as emotional music that can touch the ears and hearts of listeners. The album is currently untitled but is close to completion. AARIES is currently working with producers Carmui (Carvin Haggins, Musiq, Ivan Barias) who have produced songs for Musiq such as his debut single "Just Friends" as well as producers Andre Harris and Vidal Davis who have many songs to their credit such as Musiq (Love), Jill Scott (Take A Long Walk), and Michael Jackson (Butterflies).

 

AARIES is a breath of fresh of air to the music community as they speak of events and issues that many of us have experienced through out our lives. As the whisper of their voices transcends their words and feelings, we hold them dear to us as if we had just been told a secret.
