It’s rare to come across a talented and successful singer with mainstream appeal – let alone one who also happens to be entirely self-taught. Andreya Triana is just that. She’s a singer/songwriter from Brighton with a soulful, hauntingly beautiful voice developed after years of working on her passion. Growing up, she spent her years writing, developing her voice and teaching herself how to loop samples – eventually turning her talents into a one-woman act.
She lent her vocals to glitch-hop producer Flying Lotus on the track “Tea Leaf Dancers,” which in turn caught the attention of both music tastemakers and label heads alike. Finding a home at the British Ninja Tune label, her debut album Lost Where I Belong was produced by Bonobo with several songs written courtesy of Fink.
