ICONIQ was born as Itou Ayumi to Zainichi Korean parents on August 25, 1984 in Tottori Prefecture, Japan. Discovered at a H.O.T concert, she entered the Korean pop music industry as "Ah Yoo Mee", her Hanja based name, and debuted as the leader and lead vocalist for Sugar in 2002.
In 2006, Sugar was on hiatus when Itou released her hit debut solo digital single Cutie Honey on July 13, 2006. Itou then released Wrongful Meeting in November and covered Yuki no Hana, a Nakashima Mika song as a special treat on New Year's Eve. However, it was announced on December 20 that Sugar had disbanded. Shortly after, Itou switched to the SM Entertainment record label as "Ah Yoo Mee" on February 14, 2007. However, her time with SM Entertainment was short lived.
After her minimal participation in the 2007 SUMMER SM TOWN album, where she recorded one phrase in two songs, Itou left South Korea for Japan in 2008 and signed with Avex Entertainment. She began acting as "Itou Yumi" and debuted with a minor role in the dorama Binbo Danshi. In January 2009, Itou had her first main role in the film Yakusoku no Chi, acquired a minor role in the film Kafu wo Machiwabite and starred in one episode of an Avex Trax short drama series called Otome, as well as a secondary role in the drama Yottsu no Uso.
In November 2009, Itou officially became a part of the Rhythm Zone label under the name "ICONIQ". She made her debut in Japan on December 9, 2009, with the song I'm lovin you, as ICONIQxEXILE ATSUSHI, only available in Chaku-Uta. The song was used for a Shisheido CM starred by Ueno Juri.
In January 2010, also as a Chaku-uta download only, she released a second song Change Myself, this time with a PV produced for the song.
At the end of January, 2010, she was chosen by Shiseido as her new face to promote Shiseido's Maquillage range. In March 2010, she released her first full album titled as her second Japanese song Change Myself
