Enchanting siren, Imaina invites us into her luminously melancholic and sensual universe. Born in Bolivia to a Bolivian mother and a Belgian father, she grew up following her nomadic parents around the world and listening to an eclectic mix of genres.

 

The artist began writing and composing her own songs at the age of 13, and when she arrived in Brussels at 18, she sang in bars, on the streets of Brussels, and posted covers on YouTube to get noticed. She was then discovered by the producers of The Voice Belgique and participated in the 7th season of the show. This experience gave her the boost she needed to pursue a career in music. Full of ideas, she started using the tools at her disposal to create a sound that is uniquely hers, with a strong visual identity.

 

Imaina released her first single, "I'm Yours," in 2019, which was used in a fashion campaign for Vogue Russia. She also wrote for Stéréoclip's album "Travel." Her first EP, "Wounds," was released in 2021 and was well received in Belgium and Bolivia, with TV and radio airplay and concerts at Beursschouwburg, Recyclart, VK, De Kriekelaar, among others.

 

After that, she released several more singles, including "Sola" featuring the Liège artist Haumea, "Corazón," and "The One," which were included in several major Latin American playlists on Spotify.

 

Imaina is very open and honest when it comes to sharing her personal experiences. She was interviewed by Le Vif about the fetishization of racialized women in Belgium, a topic close to her heart and one she addresses in her song "Glass Box."

Her second EP, "SHE," is now available on all platforms.
