Ayanabo Daniokoko, known as Aya Nakamura (born 10 May 1995), is a French R&B singer of Malian origin. Coming from a family of griots (West African storytellers, praise singers / poets of oral tradition), she is the oldest of five siblings in her family. Immigrating to France with her family, she resided in Aulnay-sous-Bois. She followed fashion courses at La Courneuve. She later launched into music taking the name Nakamura, after the character Hiro Nakamura of the NBC Heroes science fiction drama series.

Nakamura published her music online with "Karma" and "J'ai mal" getting a lot of following. Dembo Camara, a long-time friend, became her producer and manager. Her song "Brisé" composed by Christopher Ghenda, garnered 13 million views on YouTube, and a duo with rapper Fababy "Love d'un voyou" resulted in her charting in France. She released her debut album with a number of collaborations. She also had a big concert at the Modibo-Keïta stadium in Bamako, where she opened for the African Nigerian star Davido. She is best known for her #1 [1] song "Djadja" that has more than 180 million views on YouTube.
