Ayla

In the world of modern music Ayla is a refreshing force, bringing her brand of decadent pop and otherworldly vocals to the scene.

Ayla

In 2014, at just 18-years of age, Ayla released her debut single ‘Wish I Was’, which immediately gained attention with Australian radio. By the end of the year this debut single came in #15 on triple j’s most played songs of the year and #1 by a solo female artist. The track also gained traction on European radio, resulting in a distribution deal with EGO Records in Italy (Emma Louise, The Jezabels) and a place on a remix EP, which has a total of two million listens on YouTube alone.

Ayla has since performed at festivals including Big Pineapple, Festival of the Sun, and Woodford Folk Festivals, as well as supported acclaimed acts including Kate Miller-Heidke, San Cisco, Kim Churchill, Asta and toured the country with her own headline shows.

In 2020 she returns with an arson of collaborations, ready to unleash at will. The collection of tracks have taken shape over the last few years that now naturally make sense in this new world of Ayla.

Taking all she has learnt in her career, Ayla returns assured and remarkably inspired by the unconventional, the bold and the attitude of those unafraid to be themselves at whatever cost.

Brisbane Festival expresses deep respect to and acknowledges the First People of this Country.
