Anthem Singer: Aja9 Takes The Pitch For Canadian, American Anthems

Rising pop star Aja9 took the pitch before Friday night’s matchup between the New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC to sing the National Anthem. It was something she’s been practicing for practically her entire life.

“I’ve been singing since I was a baby,” she said

Aja9 burst onto the scene when she won Perez Hilton’s ‘Can You Sing’ cover song competition at just 10-years-old.

“My singing coach entered me without me knowing when I was at sleepover camp,” she said of the competition.

Boasting over 3,000 subscribers on YouTube, Aja9 posts covers and original songs to her channel, garnering hundreds of thousands of views.
