Pastiche Records is proud to introduce Aria, a remarkable new voice in the UK’s soul and jazz scene.

Her debut single, ‘Rectify Your Soul’, received airplay on BBC Radio 6, BBC Introducing, and remained on the Jazz FM playlist for five consecutive weeks, including a feature as ‘Track of the Week’. Jazz FM’s Simon Phillips described her as “a future classic, a young lady on the verge of a huge breakthrough.” Aria’s recent single  ‘Its All Your Fault’ was again Jazz FMs ‘Track of the Week’ and featured on BBC Radio 2 & BBC London, where she was invited on air to discuss her musical journey so far.

Since the release, the 23 year old London based singer-songwriter has performed her original music at many of the UK’s leading jazz venues, including Ronnie Scott’s (downstairs), Pizza Express Live Soho, a sold-out show at Crazy Coqs as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival & The 606 Club. In May 2025, she performed at the launch of ‘She Writes Songs’ at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, sharing the stage with Sarah Gillespie, Rumer, Sarah Jane Morris, Polly Gibbons, Jo Harrop, and Shaznay Lewis (All Saints).

Following her performance on the Free Stage at Cheltenham Jazz Festival 2025, UK Jazz News described her as “an enticing talent” and “one to watch”. This year, Aria was subsequently selected to perform at the festivals Arena Showcase, opening for Nectar Woode in the 900 capacity DEYA Arena. Festival director Ian George said:

“A true one to watch. Aria is a rising star in UK Soul. She has wowed audiences across Cheltenham Jazz Festival stages, including a standout opening set for Nectar Woode.”

After completing her album recording, she will launch the project at Pizza Express Live Soho on the 21st of September 2026.

With her soulful voice, insightful lyrics, and genre-blending approach, Aria is rapidly emerging as one of the UK’s most exciting new artists, redefining the boundaries between neo-soul, jazz, and contemporary songwriting.
