MIYA, the songwriting duo by Matthew Erdem & Ayca Z. Aydin, compose, sing, arrange and record their songs in their own studio since 2013. MIYA’s sound can be best described as warm, upbeat Electronica, Indie Pop blended with a touch of 80’s… Their self-produced second album ‘’Hold Me Close’ arrived November 21, 2018 on all digital platforms. All the lyrics and music were written by MIYA. MIYA released their first album UZAKLASMALIYIM (I Have to Get Away) in 2013 under the Sony Music Label / Columbia Records, produced by Mathew Erdem. MIYA believes that it is within the individual artists power to influence the chaos and culture of ever more present issues such as social, humane and musical values. MIYA believe that a mixture of words, melodies and the right sounds are the most potent and harmless means of communication. MIYA believes that with caring, love and music we can make the world a better place.
