| Band Description |
Cape Town based producer, singer/songwriter S.I.Y.A brings post-apocalyptic alterno pop to the masses and taps into the belief that ‘we are all mix-matched products of our own creation’ with his non-conformist attitude. Channeling the star power and rebellion of music heavy weights across the music spectrum, S.I.Y.A fuses melancholic synthpop with atmospheric ambience on a syncopated electro-hop, afrobeat style. The lyrics are conscious and the vocals infectious, transcending most genres of music. Sometimes controversial, sometimes subtle, there are no rules, only surprises, no turntable is left unturned and no music genre is uncharted in this act. |
