British Mauritian soulstress, poet, producer and organiser, alya isha pioneers ɴᴜ ᴇᴀʀᴛʜ ɢʀᴏᴏᴠᴇ: Global, Urban, bass-heavy Jazz Funk. You might hear Afrobeats, Trip Hop and Neo Soul fused Jazz, Baile or Shatta influences — but her sound is as distinct and ever-evolving as she is.

Born in Japan, moving to Tooting, London aged 10 and then Santiago de Cuba before returning to Brixton; the British, Indian-Mauritian and Swiss artist takes inspiration from her roots; adding her trademark hard-hitting liberatory lyricism.

Culminating nearly 200,000 views on Youtube alone, alya isha has received support from BBC Radio 6 • SVDP • Jamz Supernova • Mary Anne Hobbs • Sarathy Korwar • The Mad Professor • BBC Introducing • Daytimers, Rohan Rakit • Worldwide FM • Soho Radio amongst others.

Performing live alongside the incredible RA KHOLECTIV, bringing an ecstatic live sound with Teigan Hastings on Tuba, Stefano Ancora on Drums and R.Li on Keys, this collective are sure to make you move!
