Kenia Arias (born October 22, 1982) is an American Pop / R&B / Pop Rock singer and songwriter signed to the independent record label Tate Music Group. She was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and raised in Long Island, NY.
Kenia started performing and singing at the age of four. And since then, she has been pursuing her artistic career in as many ways as she could. At the young age of 12, Kenia recruited two of her friends and started a short-lived girl group called “The Lazers”. They perfomed Salt-N-Pepa covers in driveways around her Long Island neighborhood, and even set up chairs in order to encourage an audience to gather.
Two year later, Kenia found herself being a dancer on Club Jam at age 14, which led to becoming a regular dancer and extra on MTV. But never one to settle, Kenia thought it would be a good idea to start modeling to gain exposure, which led to booking modeling gigs. Kenia remembers “I was 14, and I got my first paycheck for $500 bucks for 2 hours of work. To any 14 year old, that’s pretty exciting”. That same year, Kenia started recording her demos, and one year later, at age 15, Kenia started writing he own material. However, she has never recorded those songs.
At age 17, Kenia signed herself up for the “Miss Teen Long Island”, pageant, so she would be able to qualify for the New York State Talent Competition and get a chance to sing there. Despite the fact that she had no prior pageant training, Kenia ended up winning both. Later that year, Kenia performed at the legendary Club New York and was discovered by a Manhattan based production company. Kenia recorded 8 songs with the company. However, the CD did not catch any label’s attention and Kenia continued recording demos at her own time and expense.
