Alewya

Ethiopian rhythms and London club energy, melted into a borderless pop sound.

The Ethiopian-Egyptian singer, producer and visual artist, born in Saudi Arabia and raised in West London, describes herself as a painter who makes music. She approaches sound as texture and feeling, trusting intuition over structure. With early support from heavyweights such as drum and bass maverick Shy FX, she has developed a singular sonic palette spanning Ethiopian rhythms and Quranic recitation, garage, grime and R&B. On her debut album, ZERO, released on Because London in June 2026, Alewya finds strength in surrender.
