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 – 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 “Choirboi” 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 “Asia Bryant” 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 “Compton”. The record “Just Another Day” feat. Asia and The Game was also the only song from the Dr. Dre album to also be premiered in the NWA movie “Straight Outta Compton”. “Asia’s talent and voice is amazing! She is the future” - 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

Been waiting for hours for you
To get back
Patiently waiting for you to hit that
I dont know how you went missing
I called I guess you missed it
Then all of a sudden you came in the door and kissed it
Now normally you do the foreplay
I had a long day, so Im with it
Still something's feeling strange
The way you touch it babe, it feels brand new
Something aint the same
Can't stop cause it feels so good
Im worried, cause you fucking me like a stranger
(Ooh ooh)
Cause you fucking me like a stranger
Why you fucking me like.
The room is spinning what the hell is going on?
It feels so good it should be right,
But something's wrong
I want to stop, but you going strong
Something's up, cause you fucking me like a stranger
I cant even think right now
Cause of the way you hitting the spot right now
Maybe you wanna change it up,
Keep me on my toes and stuff, but that aint you
You the same dude from 5 years ago
This shit right here, you done, done before
But now where the hell you learn it from?
You biting, you scratching, you grabbing,
You having, you giving it good like you never had it
Cant stop cause it feels so good
And Im worried, cause you fucking me like a stranger
(Ooh ooh)
Cause you fucking me like a stranger
(Ooh ohh)
Why you fucking me like.
The room is spinning what the hell is going on?
It feels so good it should be right,
But something's wrong
I want to stop, but you going strong
Something's up cause you fucking me like a stranger
In Asiahn's song "Stranger," the singer is trying to decipher the strange shift in their sexual encounter with their partner. They've been waiting for hours for their partner to come back and hit it, but things feel off when they finally do. Normally, the partner engages in foreplay, but this time they skipped it, and the singer can sense that something is different. They still enjoy it, but it feels brand new, almost as if they are being fucked by a stranger. The room is spinning, and although it should be right, something's wrong. The singer wants to stop, but their partner keeps going strong, leaving them feeling both worried and confused.
The song appears to be about a sexual relationship that has become monotonous and predictable, with the partner trying to mix things up by being more aggressive and dominant in bed. At the same time, the singer feels helpless and out of control, unsure whether they should stop or keep going, reflecting the complex and often bewildering nature of sexual encounters. The song taps into the universal experience of wanting to explore new things sexually but also feeling vulnerable, especially when something seems off or unusual.

Been waiting for hours for you
I have been waiting for you for hours, longing to see you again
To get back
To return to me
Patiently waiting for you to hit that
I have been waiting patiently for you to make love to me
I don't know how you went missing
I do not know how you disappeared from my life
I called I guess you missed it
I tried to contact you, but you did not see my messages
Then all of a sudden you came in the door and kissed it
Suddenly, you appeared and kissed me like you used to
Now normally you do the foreplay
Usually, you engage in foreplay with me
You skipped it, but I ain't tripping
This time, you skipped it, but I am not too bothered
I had a long day, so I'm with it
I had a tiring day, but I am willing to engage in intimacy with you
Still something's feeling strange
However, something feels unusual
The way you touch it babe, it feels brand new
The way you touch me feels like a new experience
Something ain't the same
Something is different
Can't stop cause it feels so good
I cannot stop because it feels pleasurable
I'm worried, cause you fucking me like a stranger
I am concerned because you are making love to me in a way that feels unfamiliar
(Ooh ooh)
Hissing sound in the background
The room is spinning what the hell is going on?
I am feeling dizzy and confused
It feels so good it should be right,
It feels so sensational that it should be right
But something's wrong
But something feels not quite right
I want to stop, but you going strong
I want to stop, but you are continuing
Something's up, cause you fucking me like a stranger
Something is amiss because you are making love to me like we are strangers
I can't even think right now
I am feeling so overwhelmed that I can't even think straight
Cause of the way you hitting the spot right now
Because you are hitting my pleasure spots so well
Maybe you wanna change it up,
Perhaps you want to try something new
Keep me on my toes and stuff, but that ain't you
Keep me alert and engaged, but that's not how you usually behave
You the same dude from 5 years ago
You are the same person I knew five years ago
This shit right here, you done, done before
This probably is not new to you
But now where the hell you learn it from?
But now, where did you learn to do it so well?
You biting, you scratching, you grabbing,
You are biting, scratching, and grabbing me
You having, you giving it good like you never had it
You are giving it your best, like you have never experienced it before
Can't stop cause it feels so good
I cannot stop because it feels so pleasurable
(Ooh ooh)
Hissing sound in the background
Cause you fucking me like a stranger
Because you are making love to me in a way that feels unfamiliar
(Ooh ohh)
Hissing sound in the background
Why you fucking me like.
Why are you making love to me like this?
