In 2001, she decided to take control of her own life and the many changes within it. Determined to pursue her dreams, she ran into Craig A. King at a local restaurant β a talented producer who has worked with Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, Kanye West, Aaliyah, Will Smith, and more. Only moments into their encounter, Craig decided to take Asiahn under his wing. With the help of James βChoirboiβ Bennett (personal A&R and best friend to Ludacris) they began to groom Asiahn in the ethics of songwriting, composition, and performing. After a few years, touring, opening for some of the biggest acts in the game including Ludacris, Kanye West, TI, Young Joc, Life Jennings and many more the trio began to plateau and then halt all together.
Asiahn knew it was time to stand on her own two feet and take on the music industry solo. From years of writing for herself, she began to write songs for other artist. With no time at all Asiahn under the writing moniker βAsia Bryantβ has placed records with Iconic Artist like Dr. Dre, Akon, Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull, Drake, Miley Cyrus, Lil Wayne, The Game and so many more. Writing with some of the biggest producers in the game including Quincy Jones and Co-writing with the likes of Chris Brown, Sam Hook, Dj Mustard, Mike Will Made It, and Rock City, Asia has quickly made great buzz and name for herself.
In March of 2014, Asia signed to Rondor/Universal Music Publishing Group as a songwriter, all awhile gearing up to release a project all her own that embodies her urban/ alternative/world sound yet still oozes the soul of all of those who have influenced her like Prince, Etta James, Aaliyah, Mariah Carey, Tina Turner, Jimi Hendricks, The Beatles, and Lalah Hathaway.
Asiahn was also chosen by Dr. Dre to feature on his new and final album βComptonβ. The record βJust Another Dayβ feat. Asia and The Game was also the only song from the Dr. Dre album to also be premiered in the NWA movie βStraight Outta Comptonβ. βAsiaβs talent and voice is amazing! She is the futureβ - Dr. DRE. With these type of co signs Asiahn is well on her way to creating a Musical Journey to be remembered.
Most recently Asiahn came out of the writing shadows to release her first solo EP entitled Love Train. It immediately began to spread and gain her notoriety, new fans, and also show the world that Asiahns place as an artist stands and is a force to be reckoned with.

Asiahn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't into clubs, there's nobody for me
In there, oh
I got one at home, don't appreciate me
Keep blowing my high, I just need to breathe
Somewhere, oh
But then there's you
Giving all the vibes
The ones that I'm into
You know I got a girl
And I can't get with you
Maybe another lifetime
This just ain't the right time
All my love
Is waiting for somebody like you
Somebody I can give it all to
But right now ain't the right time
All my love
Is waiting for somebody like you
Somebody I can give it all to
But right now ain't the right time
Hand me another drink just to waste some time
Ain't never been a cheat but you on my mind
And I got to fix it, baby
I think me and your girl about to meet the end
But I'd rather do that than to play pretend
With someone who don't love me unconditionally
But then there's you
Looking like you do
Giving all the vibes
The ones that I'm into
You know I got a girl
And I can't get with you
Maybe another lifetime
This just ain't the right time
All my love
Is waiting for somebody like you
Somebody I can give it all to
But right now ain't the right time
All my love
Is waiting for somebody like you
Somebody I can give it all to
But right now ain't the right time
But then there's you
Looking like you do
Giving all the vibes
The ones that I'm into
You know I got a girl
And I can't get with you
Maybe another lifetime
This just ain't the right time
It's not the time
It's not the time
'Cause all my love
All my love
Is waiting for somebody like you
Somebody I can give it all to
But right now ain't the right time
All my love
Is waiting for somebody like you
Somebody I can give it all to
But right now ain't the right time
The lyrics to Asiahn's "Like You" explore a person's struggle between their current relationship and their attraction to someone else. The singer is at a club or social spot and feels out of place because they don't like that kind of environment. They mention having a significant other who doesn't appreciate them and brings them down, making them want to take a breath and escape. But then they meet someone new, someone who gives them the right vibes and makes them feel alive. The singer knows they want to be with this new person, but they can't because they're in a relationship. The singer acknowledges they may have to end their current relationship to be with this new person, but they'd rather do that than pretend everything is okay when it's not.
The theme of the lyrics is about timing and the emotional journey one goes through when deciding whether to leave a toxic relationship or not. The song expresses that the singer knows they want to be with someone else, but the timing isn't right. They are aware of the deep connection they have with this new person but can't do anything about it. They are stuck between two worlds, the one they've known and the new love that makes them feel happy and alive. All they can do for now is wait and hope that the timing is right someday.

Posted at the spot but it ain't my steeze
I'm at a location that's not really my style
I ain't into clubs, there's nobody for me
I don't enjoy going to clubs because I don't find anyone there for me
I got one at home, don't appreciate me
I have a partner, but they don't value me
Keep blowing my high, I just need to breathe
They keep bringing me down, I just need to relax
But then there's you
However, I've noticed you
Looking like you do
You have caught my attention
Giving all the vibes
You give off the energy I'm looking for
The ones that I'm into
You match with what I'm attracted to
You know I got a girl
I have a partner that I'm committed to
And I can't get with you
I cannot pursue anything with you while I'm still committed
Maybe another lifetime
Perhaps in another life we can be together
This just ain't the right time
But unfortunately, it's not the right time now
All my love
My heart is filled with
Is waiting for somebody like you
It's waiting for someone like you
Somebody I can give it all to
Someone who I can devote my everything to
But right now ain't the right time
However, now is not the right time to pursue anything with you
Hand me another drink just to waste some time
To pass the time, I'll have another drink
Ain't never been a cheat but you on my mind
I've never cheated before, but you're on my mind
And I got to fix it, baby
I need to resolve this issue
I think me and your girl about to meet the end
I think my relationship with my partner is coming to an end
But I'd rather do that than to play pretend
But I'd rather be honest than pretend everything is fine
With someone who don't love me unconditionally
With someone who doesn't love me completely
It's not the time
Right now is not the right time
'Cause all my love
Because all the love I have
