Today we’d like to introduce you to Aina Brei’Yon.
Hi Aina, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My journey in entertainment began at the young age of nine. As the second to last of nine kids there were times when my voice got lost in the all the noise. I turned to music and I haven’t looked back since. In the beginning of my career I was associated with a few indie labels. It didn’t take long for me to realize that venturing off on my own would be the best decision ever. In the last three years I have embraced all of my creative juices. From successfully releasing three self-produced albums in 2019, to launching my all female production company 3K9 Productions, to self-publishing my very first recipe book “Cheat Days With The Ugly Cook” and launching my clothing line “The Brei’Yon Collection” in the middle of a pandemic. My journey has been shared by a plethora of media outlets to include Urban Magazine, All Hip Hop, Young California, Sheen Magazine, Kontrol Magazine and the Tammi Mac Late Show on Fox Soul TV.
I’ve performed on huge stages such as One Music Fest, Taste of Soul LA, SXSW and A3C. I’ve also represented the AT&T Dream In Black campaign at the 2019 Revolt LA Hip Hop Summit. Preceded by speaking on Google & TuneCore sponsored panels during A3C. At the end of 2020 I launched the visual side of 3K9 Productions. Since its inception 3K9 Productions has been a one stop shop for musical creatives around the globe. Providing music production, composing, mixing and mastering, full song or hook writing and publishing services all in one place. Now I am humbled to add photography, videography and branding services to the mix. The cool thing is, it’s all done by one woman, me! I am on a mission to “die empty” and to me this means pouring my talents out into the world while I am here on earth.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
There is nothing “smooth” about being an entrepreneur, especially in the service industry. The biggest struggle in entertainment is one’s need for capital gains and genuine support.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Known for her excuse-free, self-rewarding work ethic, the founder, and CEO of 3K9 Productions is mastering the art of maintaining a successful career as an Award-Winning Music Producer, Independent Artist, Actress, Author and Entrepreneur. As a native of the Southside (Roseland area) of Chicago, Aina Brei’Yon personifies strength. Since her conception, she has made it very clear that boundaries do not apply to her. Early on in her career, she understood the importance of being true to who she is and embracing idealism. Her reality is defined by her beliefs; a message that transcends through her music and all of her creative endeavors.
As the second to youngest of ten children, self-expression and showing any type of emotion was simply non-existent in their family. She says, “I found an outlet with music at the young age of nine. Writing was the only way I knew how to express myself.” As a creator of experiences, Aina’s talent of using her music and visuals to tell her stories has presented her with several opportunities to open up for acts such as J. Holiday, Talib Kweli, Soulja Boy, Keith Murray, Crucial Conflict, Sammie, and B2K. In the last two years, Aina finds herself sharing the stage with Miguel, HER, Rapsody and a plethora of headliners, opening up shows such as One Music Festival and headlining stages during A3C, SXSW and Long Beach Pride.
Her audience consists of multi-generational like-minded male and female individuals who find themselves embracing the energy of Aina Brei’Yon. Her continued focus on sharing her talents with the world has allowed her to speak on panels hosted by TuneCore, Google and entertainment focused brands. She’s represented brands such as the AT&T Dream in Black campaign during the REVOLT Hip Hop Summit in 2019. “I am a creator. I don’t rap. I don’t sing. I create and raise vibrations. When the world sees you one way, they believe that’s the only way you should be. I can’t be boxed in. God did not put my gift in a box with a pretty little bow on it. When I create, I create from whatever I’m feeling at the moment. No rules. No limitations. No image to protect. That’s the only true form of freedom…
The freedom to stand in your truth,” says Aina Brei’Yon. With more than two decades of entertainment experience under her belt, the passion for her craft heavily manifests through her professional resume and displays an extreme dedication to her limitless talents. From writing and performing her profound lyrics to landing relevant roles and appearances in several screenplays and web-series, to self-publishing her very own recipe book, the sequence of Aina Brei’Yon’s career-related events has made her one of the most well-known and self-taught featured independent artists of today.
What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
Be true to yourself, always!
