Aria Tesolin

Aria's strikingly beautiful voice has been described by fans as majestic, ethereal and mesmerizing. Today this pop classical singer and poet from Mississauga, Ontario has three singles playing on adult contemporary and hit radio formats in 22 countries. The Key, newly recorded single from Ascension, on June 11th, was the highest debuting single on both Top 40 and AC/Hot AC US commercial radio charts, now #19 on the Top 100 Hot Singles Chart in Top 40 and AC/Hot AC, with 837+ spins per week in US. Aria joins Fun, Ed Sheeran and Mumford & Sons in the Top 10 indie artists on radio at #7 in Top 40 and #9 in AC.

Aria recently released her sophomore album Ascension in April 2013, which features the singer's original music and lyrics for the first time, and shows her following an exciting artistic and musical direction, one best described as pop classical & contemporary pop fusion. With songs that draw in elements of pop, rock, and crooner jazz, Aria's polished signature vocals with classical roots soulfully and skillfully play with music, motif and meaning. Ascension's title track, for example, has been described as "at once an introspective play on musical theatre, and a demented Cohen-esque waltz."

Ascension has received critical acclaim as a strong album for both music and lyrics. For Ascension, Tesolin and producer Douglas Romanow developed a new style of music that combines the poetic originality of her lyrics in an innovative sonic landscape where classical influences combine with modern electronic sound, (harp, cello mixed with electronic piano and synthesizer effects), and her mezzo-soprano operatic voice. This album draws the listener into a sonic world of alternative pop meets classical, that stays true to an adult contemporary audience.

Aria has recently appeared on ETalk, YTV In the Zone and TVOKids and on the Hottest New Artist radio show on Fox Sports and has been prominently featured on Artists in the Plus on Google.

The Canadian singer from Mississauga, Ontario is currently planning tour dates in North America, Europe and other locations. Aria's live show combines the singer's interesting original music with inspired creatively unexpected covers in an original tastemaker show that appeals to a wide audience.
