About aÿa
AŸA (Avia Shoshani) is a self-taught singer-songwriter, producer & artist based in Berlin.
Her composition combines a unique twist on her Moroccan and Yemeni roots with contemporary pop and r&b melodies.
Growing up in an environment of political and personal crisis,
AŸA had no alternative but to put her struggles into her musical storytelling, and she has so much to say. In each and every performance, AŸA demonstrates a wide range of experience, consistently delivering one-of-a-kind live adventures - taking audiences along for a very honest, but magical journey. She found her voice while performing on the biggest world stages including Eurovision, arenas filled with hundreds of thousands of people, tv shows, clubs, circuses, theaters, star observatories, and more.

"AŸA grasps chords. At the start, her voice sounds soft, almost hesitant.
Within less than a minute, it picks up tremendous momentum. Something breaks free within her that leaves one in awe. This petite woman, who often speaks so quietly, sings as if her very survival depends on it."
Aÿa's impassioned vocals and the empowering message of "Backup" make it a must-listen for anyone seeking strength and self-empowerment.
