Astræa

You’ve probably heard her voice before but you’re not sure where. Maybe it reminds you of the ethereal tones of Kate Bush or the warm colours of Karen Carpenter. Or maybe it’s because you’ve heard her voice & production soundtracking some of the biggest TV moments of the last few years in major spots for Love Island, Lloyds Bank, Very.co.uk & Standard Chartered. 
 That voice belongs to artist/producer Astræa. It's funny she should be trailblazing in the worlds of advertising & reality shows when they are as far as you can get from the introspective work of Astræa, someone with a classical music background who has studied psychology & music therapy. 
 Astræa is already making waves on the London scene, selling out headline gigs at St Pancras Old Church & St James Piccadilly, independently achieving over 7m streams/70k sales, garnering major playlist features including Spotify's New Music Friday, receiving critical acclaim from major tastemakers like Wonderland, Atwood, Headliner, Mahogany & Clash, and earning production credits with artists including Ward Thomas, Hannah Grace, and Charlie Straw. 
 Following the success of her debut Tonight I Run, Astræa continues to hone in on her signature ethereal pop sound throughout the upcoming Looking Up EP, embedding her heartfelt lyrics within stunning cinematic & electronic soundscapes. The EP was a lockdown endeavour, with all of the writing, production, & mixing done from her home studio - making this EP ever more personal.
