Creating a distinct concoction of art pop, downtempo, and ambient, New Delhi artist Sijya is a musician who draws from her inner monologues and translates them into dreamy music rich with layers of synths, raw rhythms, and emotive vocals. Her visceral art-pop trembles with dark, bassy production, arpeggiating crystalline synths, and brooding industrial beats, a stark contrast to her angelic vocals which are sensitive but confident – drawing on pop motifs and brimming with soul. Diving into raw textures and unfiltered emotion, Sijya's music – as can be heard on her newest EP Leather & Brass (2025) with One Little Independent Records (Björk, Cody ChesnuTT, Nadah El Shazly) – is an exploration of weight, density, and contrast in sound and sentiment, brought to life through distorted synths running through battered guitar pedals and mysterious lyrics that linger in ambiguity.
