Aya Yves is the brainchild of a Cooma born Canberra native Vendulka. Born from a love of pushing boundaries and breaking expectations, Aya contrasts light airy vocals with dark, brooding and quirky production. The Aya Yves project has been taken far from Vendulka’s folk music roots, however, still manages to keep the vulnerability and unifying connection that folk music is known for.

Standing out with her otherworldly vocal abilities and honest approach to songwriting, Aya Yves is quickly becoming one of the premier emerging faces in Australian pop.

“Dear E.” is Aya Yves’s third single of the year, following up “(in)Sanity” and “Smart Girls”, both of which featured the work of talented producer Xavier Dunn (Jack River, CXLOE, Graace, Carmada, Peking Duk), and were added to rotation on triple j Unearthed. “Smart Girls” found favour with tastemakers like Thomas Bleach, Don’t Bore Us (The Brag), Women In Pop, The AU Review, Forte Magazine and more, bringing a powerful message of strength and girl-power to the fore.
