Her song writing is unique and cathartic, revealing her hardships and trauma as something that can bring her audience together under a supportive community. Fia desires to have her music be used as an escape and stated “it is so important to allow people to share hardships in their lives”

This new single shows a natural love for music using raw vocals and intimacy.

After success on Soundcloud of her covers including ‘fade into you’ and ‘the way things go’, Fia desires to perform live and tour idolising a release of an EP on Spotify. You can listen here to her covers and current demos. If you’re a fan of Mitski and CMAT, Fia is the perfect rising star for your autumn and chill playlists.

When asked what makes her stand out in the crowd, Fia describes her determination to create music as a self-starter.

“...even if that means learning a new instrument to accompany a song or learning how to use a new production system…”

She feels as though her “music is something that I thrive in and I love that I can share this with others” without being in the box of no creative control.
