Before she was Aylahli, she was a teenager in Los Angeles watching the music industry from the sidelines — curious, yet unimpressed. Pop stars seemed to fall into two camps: the rebellious shock-value provocateurs or the polished idols carefully sculpted by industry executives. Neither felt like her.  

Now at 20 years old, as a Columbia University student residing in Manhattan, Aylahli is creating something different — music that’s sexy, bold, and confident without the need to shock or provoke.  

Aylahli’s music isn’t just about desire — it’s about power. Inspired by artists like Rihanna and Kim Petras who embraced sensuality without compromise, she crafts pop songs that reject shame and celebrate pleasure on her own terms. Her lyrics play with themes of seduction, beauty, and control — not to cater to men, but to express what it means to feel powerful in your own skin.  

"I’m not interested in being a fantasy for men," she says. "My music is about feeling good in your own body and knowing your worth."  

Aylahli’s confidence is striking, but her perspective runs deeper than typical pop star bravado. As a young woman navigating both the music industry and elite academic spaces at Columbia, she’s aware of how women in entertainment are often boxed in — expected to either downplay their sexuality or push it to extremes.  

"I’m not here to shock anyone or prove something," she says. "I just think people should feel comfortable being exactly who they are — and if that means making sexy music, that’s great. It’s about feeling in control, not seeking approval."  

Independent in all senses of the word, Aylahli produces her own music — shaping her sound without outside interference. Her upcoming album Hentai Soul Club blends sultry production with provocative lyricism, showcasing a sound that’s both addictive and empowering. Standout tracks like Monster Made and Sex & Chanel embody this vision.  

"I want my music to feel indulgent — like getting lost in desire, but with full control of the experience," she explains.  

Her independent label, Triple Platinum Records, reflects her belief that artists deserve creative freedom and fair opportunities. Focused on supporting talented artists from underserved backgrounds, the label provides essential capital and professional resources to help musicians thrive.  

“I know how hard it is for young artists to break through without losing control of their image or sound,” she says. “I want my label to be a space where artists feel safe and empowered to create what feels authentic to them.”  

The label’s name, Triple Platinum, reflects her belief in the talent she’s investing in. “I believe in my artists,” Aylahli says. “I want them to feel like they’re destined for success.”  

Beyond her music career, Aylahli is also a poet and tattoo designer, with her creative work centered on empowering women to feel comfortable about their desires and prioritize female pleasure.  

As Aylahli prepares to release her debut album, she’s clear about her goals: to create music that’s bold, beautiful, and unapologetically sexy — without compromise.  

"I don’t want to fit into anyone’s expectations," she says. "I just want to make music that feels like me — and if people connect with it, even better."
