Aliyah's Interlude

Aliyah's Interlude is the stage name of Aliyah Bah, an American-Sierra Leonean musician and social media personality from Atlanta, Georgia. She rose to prominence on TikTok, where she built a large following starting in 2020 and became known by 2022 for a distinctive fashion aesthetic blending Y2K and harajuku influences, often referred to online as «AliyahCore». Her online persona, marked by a bold, unapologetic attitude, helped her transition from internet fame into a music career.

Her debut single «IT GIRL», released in 2023, became a viral sensation on TikTok, soundtracking well over a million videos on the platform and introducing her to a wider pop and rap audience. The song's catchy, confident hook and its many remixes and edits, including a version featuring Bree Runway and sped-up and radio-edit variants, reflect how thoroughly it permeated internet music culture.

Musically, Aliyah's Interlude works at the intersection of rap, pop and electronic sounds, favoring hooky, high-energy tracks built for short-form video culture. Songs like «Fashion Icon» and «Back It Up» continue her focus on brash, self-assured anthems tied closely to her fashion-forward online image, positioning her as part of a generation of artists whose music careers grew directly out of social media virality.
