Aiko’s father explained that she started singing in the shower and would hum to every song that they played, making them realize that she loves to sing.
“Since then, we made it normal for us to sing. I play, she sings and we practice together,” said Richard.
Richard also explained how Aiko went viral and the process of making the viral video.
“She taught herself the song by Lewis Capaldi via YouTube, and when I came back home and heard her singing the song I was blown away. I told her, Aiko, we have to record this and get it on video,” he said.
