“Fly swiftly”. This is what ‘Aya’ is translated to from Hebrew, and what Aya Yves has been doing. Keeping true to her namesake, AYA has hit the ground running - since her creative conception in June 2019, she has already started to make waves within the Australian songwriting scene. The Cooma born, Canberra native received a grant from artsACT to fund an EP with Xavier Dunn (Jack River, Eliott, GRAACE) to be released in 2020. Born from a love of pushing boundaries and breaking expectations - this record is made up of light and airy vocals contrasted with dark, brooding production. With songs of heartbreak, lust, longing and hope - it’s a body of work sure to take the listener on an emotional rollercoaster.
