AiiTee | Dragon Soop Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday, 14 August 2022
Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com
Growing up in Aberdeen, AiiTee got her musical foundation through singing in her church choir but it was seeing the success of Emily Sande (who also hails from the North East) which first led her to consider a career in music. In 2019, she met rapper Chef and producer Louis Sievwright, two kindred spirits who have been active in the city’s hip-hp scene. Her debut release, Love Don’t Fall, which blends afrobeat, soul, gospel and r’n’b, came out in the summer of 2020, and garnered respectable coverage and airplay on Radio Scotland and Amazing Radio. In turn this led to her TV debut on Scottish music show Tune, as well as the support of megaband, Rudimental.
Now based in Edinburgh, where she is studying computer science, Aiitee recently released her latest single Confidence which coincided with an appearance on Radio’s 4s Loose Ends Programme. This is set to be followed by a series of live dates including BE United at Edinburgh’s Fruitmarket (19), Otherlands Festival that same weekend, the Pitch music convention in Glasgow (27) and Aberdeen’s True North Festival on 8 September. https://linktr.ee/AiiTee
