Aya Sinclair's journey from a constrained youth in a Pentecostal church to a vibrant artist in London encapsulates both personal and musical evolution. Initially inspired by Christian rock, her awakening to her queer identity led her to leave the church and immerse herself in club culture and drug use. Her first album as 'aya' represents the disorienting effects of ketamine, with striking lyrics and experimental beats. Her second album, 'hexed!', reflects the challenges of early sobriety, addressing past traumas while continuing to seek intensity and creativity in new music.
"In her debut album, aya captures the intensity of a ketamine experience, reworking dance music structures to convey the drug's effects on the body and mind."
"Sinclair's journey from church to club starkly illustrates the conflict between her past beliefs and evolving identity; she sought euphoria beyond conventional faith."
