British-Thai singer-songwriter Araya blends folk, grunge and alternative rock into a sound that feels both nostalgic and completely her own. Based between Nottingham and Derby, Araya pairs confessional songwriting with emotive vocals and a raw, 90s-inspired edge, creating songs of vulnerability, atmosphere and sharp lyrical detail.

Still only 17, she has already performed at events including Hockley Hustle, Rough Trade, Rescue Rooms and Reimagined Festival, quickly building a reputation as an exciting new voice on the underground scene. Honest, distinctive and emotionally charged, Araya’s live performances balance intimate storytelling with bursts of grunge-fuelled intensity.
