After a solo performance in 2005 in Los Angeles, California, guitarist Rich Koehler and drummer Mike Peña (who was later replaced by Dan Epand when Peña pursued his acting career) approached Aja about creating a band. They created their three-member band, Nico Vega, with Aja as the lead singer. The group has released two albums Nico Vega (2009) and Lead To Light (2014).
