“A live-looping frenzy” Artrocker Mag UK


"Flowing from [...] minimal loops to stadium-scaled grandeur”  Rolling Stone Magazine

Indie-pop singer-songwriter Phia is known for her genre-defying, live-looping show and inventive use of the kalimba (thumb piano), and is also the founder and artistic director of Melbourne Indie Voices, a new breed of community choir that performs her arrangements of indie-pop songs.

Since arriving back from her then-home of Berlin in 2016, Phia has had a feverishly creative period, carving a new choir sound that stands alongside Melbourne’s famed music scene, as well as touring her own music through Australia and Europe multiple times. Phia has released her last three records in this potent period as well as performing at Woodford Folk Festival 2018, Grampians Music Festival 2018 and St Kilda Music Festival 2017.

Her two musical worlds - joyous choral harmonies and live looping - collide on her upcoming self-titled second album (due 2020), a heart-stopping, imaginative work enriched by the choir’s rich sound and Phia’s gift for honest, lyrical music-making.
