AYIA | ICELAND
In English, bands are usually referred to as the plural “they.” But when it comes to aYia, “it” feels more appropriate. The band’s sudden appearance in October 2016 felt like the arrival of a new entity - or the discovery of a new place - more than the launch of a project by three individuals. It materialised quietly, as if out of nowhere, the faces of the people behind the music shrouded beneath hoods and hidden in shadows. The presentation felt purposeful, and it was immediately apparent that aYia was something with a personality all of its own. With the recent release of “Ruins”, 2017 is proving to be an exciting year.
"Ruins" pulls back the curtain on the landscape aYia occupy: it's a vast and expansive wilderness of sound and voice, intelligently channeled into a singular musical vision.” – The Line of Best Fit

RONYA | FINLAND
Somewhere in the outskirts of a small town in the south of Finland, Ronja Gullichsen wrote songs in her bedroom, and secretly trained her voice with downloaded instrumental tracks of Aretha Franklin, Christina Aguilera and Beyonce songs. From the age of 14 she performed original songs along with jazz and R&B covers at local venues in her hometown and Helsinki and at 16, she recorded a demo with the help of a family member and landed a deal with Warner Music Finland. Having made her debut in 2012, she then joined the independent Finnish record label Cocoa Music and released a string of singles and the album “Tides”. She is now finishing up a collection of new songs due to be out in 2017.
