Described once as a Jorja Smith and Tash Sultana’s love child, South London singer-songwriter and producer Giya is a master of mood and atmosphere. Having honed her sound with London’s Lonesome Dog collective, she went on to support Hak Baker on his nationwide tour. Despite gaining attention of BBC Introducing with her debut The Almost Real EP, Giya is adamant at preserving her DYI approach, determined to keep her integrity as a female artist in an ever fluctuating music scene. Her songs speak of suburban claustrophobia and a desire for escapism, capturing the feelings of multitudes with a singular eloquence and empathy. 

Following the release of her 2020 debut EP, “The Almost Real”, GIYA is back with an accompanying music video for her track “Blood”. Exploring the perils and disquiet of urban lifestyle, the track captures the paranoia and dizzying anxieties of forgotten nights. Our worst fears are presented in a Tarantino-esque reimagining, narrated by GIYA’s engaging vocals.
