Born and raised in Belgium with Moroccan heritage, Dina Ayada is now ready to share her story with the world. Known for viral hits like “Miles Away” and “Games,” she released her debut album IDENTITY on January 16, which was executive produced by Grammy-nominated artist and producer Gunna. The new album comprises 12 tracks, including the title song “don’t get me started” and pre-release single “no rush” featuring Gunna himself.

To celebrate Black History Month, we at Mido have compiled a comprehensive list of 43 Black musicians you should check out and add to playlists for year-round listening. This list includes indie artists, artists from smaller labels or with smaller followings, and some artists with larger followings who, in our opinion, could still have more attention. Whether or not you recognize these names, we hope you discover a new love or rediscover an old one.
