2024 CONTEMPORARY R&B RECORDING OF THE YEAR | Aqyila | | The JUNO Awards

Toronto R&B artist, Taahira Aquiyla Duff, known to her fans as Aqyila, is making the rest of 2023 her own. With the release of her debut EP, For The Better, Aqyila looks to build on the success of her viral debut release, “Vibe for Me (Bob for Me),” which racked up over 10 million streams worldwide and landed her first JUNO Award nomination for ‘Contemporary R&B Recording of the Year.’ Since then, Aqyila has only seen more growth and success. She was tapped as an ambassador for TikTok’s #RnB month in November 2022 and has landed opening spots for other talented artists like Kimbra and Cat Burns. The rising songstress has since released her first EP, For The Better, featuring “Pressure,” and “OH,” both songs showcasing her maturing vocals and songwriting skills. “Hello,” another song on the EP deeply resonated with her audience on TikTok and has become a fan favourite.
