Early life and education

Maraiah Queen Arceta was born on January 27, 2001 [2] in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, Philippines, where she was raised alongside her only brother. [3] Before her auditions, Arceta participated in school events, modeling, and beauty pageants.

Career

Aiah attended two auditions for Star Hunt Academy (SHA) in Cebu.

Following her experience with PBB Otso, she auditioned for the 2022 TV series Darna , encouraged by her modeling agency, but did not get the role. [8] During her appearance on the Bisayan talk show Kuan on One , she recalled that her manager mentioned their aim was not necessarily to get the role but to be noticed by the Star Hunt staff. [9]

A few months after her audition, Aiah received a call inviting her to Manila to join a girl group. She accepted the invitation and became the last to join Star Hunt Academy as a trainee, joining the other trainees three months after training began. [8] On October 10, 2020, she was one of the last eight members of the SHA Girl Trainees to graduate from the academy and was officially announced as a member of an idol group. [10]

In November 2020, Aiah officially became a member of the Filipino girl group Bini, [11] which officially debuted on June 11, 2021. [12]

In 2021, Aiah co-wrote their third single, "Kapit Lang" (Hold On), along with Lian Kyla, writing the rap verse of the song. [13]
