Aziya Tickets

Born and raised in east London, Aziya Aldridge-Moore is known in the contemporary alt-rock scene for her powerful vocals, masterful guitar playing and myriad of musical influences that manifest in her genre-blurring soundscapes. Citing System of a Down, Patti Smith and A Tribe Called Quest as formative influences on her musical tastes, Aziya began learning the guitar and writing songs aged 10, before later enrolling at the prestigious BRIT school.

After graduating in 2018, social media became an important instrument in Aziya’s arsenal to maintain artistic control and showcase her unique sound (especially when lockdown prevented her playing live). She began posting eclectic, riff-heavy covers to her growing digital audience; one such cover was Grimes’ ‘Oblivion’. The Canadian singer reposted Aziya’s cover to her own socials, meanwhile Tame Impala gave their seal of approval to her suitably psychedelic cover of ‘The Less I Know The Better’. Aziya’s raw talent also caught the attention of H.E.R, who featured the Londoner for her ‘Girls with Guitars’ Instagram campaign. Despite not having released any music of her own at that point, Aziya performed on the 300,000-strong live stream alongside Shawn Mendes and Missy Elliott. Soon after, Aziya was snapped up by Warner Records.

In 2021, Aziya released her vibrant and varied debut EP, We Speak of Tides. Featuring her searing debut single ‘Slip!’, the five-track EP deftly nods to Aziya’s wide range of musical influences, whilst placing her powerhouse vocals and approach to guitar playing at the fore. Further high profile endorsements soon followed in the form of various coveted opening slots for The Vaccines, Nova Twins and in late 2022, for Florence + the Machine at London’s O2 Arena. A tribute to Blondie, Aziya’s new wave-tinged single ‘atomic’ was released in 2023, marking an advancing shift in her production skills. Despite its heritage sensibilities and guitar work reminiscent of The Cure or New Order, the track is a Gen Z-coded analysis on love and relationships in the current climate.

Arriving as a highly anticipated follow-up to her self-produced 2023 EP, LONELY CASTLES, 10-track mixtape BAMBI arrived in 2024. Exploring themes of vulnerability and strength, the project showcases more of Aziya’s technically experimental artistry than ever before across its six full-length songs and four interludes. ‘bambi summit’ incorporates soundbites of personal conversations about love and self-worth with Aziya’s friends and family, meanwhile ‘santi said’ takes the form of a rousing pep talk courtesy of Aziya’s mentor Santigold. Elsewhere, self-assured track ‘bbydoll’ sees Aziya reclaim the word ‘babydoll’ with such defiance that’s sure to lend itself to crowd singalongs at future live shows.
