Aid

Aida Alonso Iglesias, known as Aid or Aid Alonso, was born and raised in Vigo, Spain. She began her music career as a teenager when recordings she made at 12 were uploaded online and quickly gained popularity. In 2008 she became the first rap artist and youngest winner of the IV Heineken Greenspace festival in Valencia among more than 1,300 groups. This led to her debut album Jugando, which earned national recognition, including iTunes Latin Single of the Week for “Boogie Vigo,” Ones To Watch Artist of the Month on Myspace, and winner of the national Marcate Un Squares contest by Kellogs. In 2011 the song Apréndeo was featured as part of the Televisión de Galicia public campaign “Servizo Público: A Calquera Hora” and became one of the most listened-to songs in the Galician language on YouTube.

Aid’s later works include the book-disc Rapoemas, which adapts classic Galician poetry into hip hop, and the album Hacer Lo Que Quiero. She has performed at concerts throughout Galicia and Spain, collaborated with artists in the Spanish urban music scene, taught hip hop and songwriting workshops, and worked in national radio and television presenting music programs.

After moving to California in 2015, she spoke at TEDxCSULB in April 2016 and continued releasing music and collaborating on international projects. Wikipedia
