Aïna Quach

Aïna Quach (1993-    ) is a multilingual pop singer of Belgian, Chinese, Vietnamese and Malagasy descent.

Born on March 22, 1993 in Longjumeau, France to a half Belgian and half Chinese-Vietnamese father and a Malagasy mother, she was raised in Courcouronnes, a suburb south of Paris.  From a young age, Aïna Quach was heavily influenced by the musicians in her family, particularly her aunt who was a famous singer from Madagascar.  At the age of 9, Aïna Quach made her debut live performance in front of an audience of 1,500 at a concert held in honor of the Malagasy ambassador to France in Paris.  From then on, she had realized her dream of one day becoming a professional singer.

As a youth, Aïna Quach learned to play the piano and also acted in theater, most notably in a production of Les Misérables at the Trianon de Paris Theater where she portrayed the role of Cosette.  At the age of 13, she met and befriended famous Malagasy guitarist/singer Erick Manana who would become her mentor in her music career over the years.  The two recorded a duet album together in 2006 in the Malagasy language which would officially introduce Aïna Quach to the national pop music industry in Madagascar.  On July of 2007, Aïna Quach was the featured special guest performer at the 35th anniversary concert of the legendary Malagasy folk music group, Mahaleo, held at the Olympia in Paris where she sang a memorable duet of the song, Mimoza, with the group's lead singer Dama.  The following year, Aïna Quach would embark on several successful concert tours in Madagascar beginning with several sold out dates at the prestigious Palais des Sports de Mahamasina in the capital city of Antananarivo headlining alongside such big names in the Malagasy music industry like Poopy, Dodo and Fafa.  In 2009, she traveled to the United States to collaborate on her solo studio album, What I Want, which consisted of songs recorded in English at a major studio in Miami, Florida, with composer/record producer Mikey Bassie who had worked with the likes of some of the top American pop music artists such as Britney Spears, Gloria Estefan and Joey McIntyre.  Aïna Quach would return to North America on June of the following year to perform in a pair of highly successful concert shows commemorating Madagascar's 50th year of independence held in New York and Canada, as she along with Malagasy pop singer Marius Fenoamby had been selected by the Malagasy overseas mission as featured headliners for the event.  Aïna Quach  has since made numerous triumphant returns to Madagascar to perform live in concert for her many adoring Malagasy fans.

After graduating from high school in 2011, Aïna Quach decided to further her studies and enrolled at the prestigious l'Académie des Arts Urbains in Paris, France.  That same year, she also began collaborating with Jessy Matador, the up and coming rising young star of French pop music who had represented France at Eurovision in 2010.  It was through her association with Jessy Matador that she would later become acquainted with renowned composer Wilson Silva, who had written the music for his hit song, Mini Kaoulé.   In 2014, Wilson Silva and Aïna Quach collaborated in the production of their first hit single together entitled as Come.  During the fall of that same year, Aïna Quach was selected by Khanh Mai, the founder and original member of the legendary French progressive rock group, Tai Phong, as the group's new lead female vocalist for a successful concert tour of Japan.  The album, Tai Phong:  Live in Japan, would be released two years later which featured several live tracks with Aïna Quach on lead vocals.  Earlier in 2016, Je t’emmènerai, another collaboration between Wilson Silva and Aïna Quach, was released as a single.

Since August 30, 2015, Aïna Quach has been engaged to Wilson Silva.  At present, the pair are working on an upcoming studio album and plans for a world tour.
