Her debut LP i’m hole on Hyperdub is lush with avant-garde spoken word strung over club bangers so deconstructed their jewelled sinews barely hold them together. She co-manages the label YCO alongside BFTT, and her residency with NTS showcases her skills as the self-proclaimed First Lady of The Bootleg.
In 2018, she shared an edit pack titled ell oh eff tea too oh won ate, which features her own takes on Ariana Grande, IC3PEAK, Mark Pritchard, and Beethoven, among others. The assortment of bootlegs effortlessly blends feelsy melodies with dopamine-inducing hooks and a reliably wry sense of humour to boot. AYA is also known for previous releases such as 2017’s Three Settlements Four Ways on Wisdom Teeth and 2016’s Turbulent Dynamics on Astral Plane, the latter of which was later supplemented by remixes from Acre, Szare, and Alis, among others.
In 2020, AYA retired her previous moniker, LOFT, with a bandcample compilaton titled are eye pea ell oh eff tea, regrouping tracks from the last decade that didn't make it onto any previous publications, as well as the message »LOFT IS DEAD LONG LIVE AYA,« and that she is moving on to »bigger better brighter things.« She can be heard monthly on NTS 2.
