ARYA (https://www.tradebit.com; Sanskrit) : A being who has realised ultimate reality directly and non-conceptually; (Nigerian) Enjoyment; (East African) Role model.
With an explosive combination of heavy, aggressive and melodic music, ARYA has distinguished themselves in the Toronto music scene with a signature sound that fuses two seemingly volatile elements - metal and melody. Drawing from their diverse backgrounds and inspirations, the band creates music that is intense, addictive, and unmistakably unique.
In their two years together as a band, ARYA has accomplished much within the Toronto music scene. Their energetic live performances and debut EP, produced by multiple-award winning producer/songwriter Justin Gray (Joss Stone, Sugar Jones), have brought them multiple awards and opportunities to record and continue to play before ever-larger audiences.
ARYA’s dynamic live show and industry accolades have created a buzz with both audiences and musicians alike, making them a much sought-after group by venues, promoters and fellow bands. They are currently exploring options with various offers for representation.
ARYA finished their follow-up EP “Honeycomb” in the summer of 2008. They are currently preparing material for their debut full-length album, to be recorded this winter and followed by extensive touring. Stay tuned for more on the reckoning force known as ARYA.
