ARIA has fostered her talent for singing, dancing and performing since a young age. A driven and unique artist, ARIA has honed her super powers by adapting and diversifying, whether it was writing and recording the Auckland anthem ‘Friday’, in the shack with Homebrew, belting top Cs in the Festival Garden for Dr Colossus, crooning BVs for Teeks on RNZ or laying down vocals for Noah Slee at Red Bull studios, Berlin, ARIA has lapped it all up, slowly harvesting her rich experiences to build her own juicy, tapestry.
The debut single release from ARIA, ‘Awake With You’ is a high energy, pop-soul collaboration with renowned electronic producer and NZ Music Awards nominee, Boycrush, whose illustrious drumming career (Lawrence Arabia, Ruby Suns) is evidenced by the driving drums in the tune. Acclaimed actress Morgana O’Reilly directed and produced a raw and powerfully defenseless, filmic capture of the story behind the song which you can watch here:

In contrast to her digestible, synth-pop, debut, the latest single from ARIA, ‘Unravel’ is an ode to vulnerability. The ethereal and melancholic vocals weave a soulful melody, soaring above a swell of strings, deep bass and grimy snare. Retrieved from her vault of songs composed while living in Berlin, ARIA worked alongside producer Abraham Kunin, back here in NZ, to bring it to life. ARIA and Morgana teamed up again to produce an evocative visual narrative for the artist’s second single. Watch the music video for ‘Unravel’ here:
