Introducing our NYE Headline Artist Ayla !!!!
AYLA has long been one of Australia’s most-watched music artists. Her breakout debut single ‘Wish I Was’ emerged as a sudden and powerful force, striking triple j Unearthed with remarkable impact. It went on to become the 15th most played song of the year on triple j, the highest for a solo female artist. This success led to standout performances on triple j’s Like A Version and at renowned festivals like Big Pineapple, Festival of the Sun, and Woodford Folk Festival. She has also supported acclaimed acts such as Kate Miller-Heidke, San Cisco, and Kim Churchill, and expanded her reach with shows in the UK and Netherlands.
"If your life were ever made into a dramatic movie, AYLA would be the perfect artist to soundtrack it. Her music is a captivating blend of sophistication, depth, and vibrancy that speaks to the soul. With an evocative sound that illuminates even the darkest moments, AYLA invites listeners on a journey filled with heartfelt emotion and radiant energy."
After racking up some serious accolades, the 2024 release of her debut album ~ DOPAMINE ~ marks her graduation from young-buzzed artist with a knack for penning brooding-pop gems, to a formidable force with a whole lot of heart.
Across two EPs and nine stunning, high-rotation singles, Ayla has constantly impressed with her raw talent and intriguing voice. In 2020 she ushered in a bold-new era, releasing the delicate yet potent ‘Go Slow’, co-written and produced by Peking Duk’s Reuben Styles, which landed placement on Spotify Australia’s New Music Friday, Front Left and Indie Arrivals, alongside praise from NME, Purple Sneakers, Music Feeds and more.
Flexing her growth as a songwriter and artist, DOPAMINE has been intricately pieced together by a powerhouse team of collaborators including Sam Cromack (Ball Park Music), Danny Harley (The Kite String Tangle), Edward Quinn (Telenova) and further production and mixing duties by Peter Holz (Vance Joy, Gang of Youths, Alice Ivy).
The result is a work that pulses with uniqueness. Bright, bold, sweet and somber, it strides between delicate dark-pop, self-empowerment bops, stamping its place as a must-listen album for 2024.
