MYSTIC SONS: Getting To Know... sarya

An exclusive interview with sarya about inspirations and feelings!

Chris Bound, 2025

MUSIC CROWNS: ARE YOU A TREE?

“In the growing field of confessional, lo-fi electronic music, sarya remains one of its most poetic and imaginative voices.”

Daniel Megitt, 2025

THE SKINNY (UK): Spotlight On... sarya

A feature after the release of "ONLY GIRL", written by Tallah Brash.

EARMILK: ARE YOU A TREE?

"With sarya’s fresh storytelling perspective as a Taiwanese-American non-binary artist, the everyday is transformed into an intensely personal narrative about connection, solitude, and the beauty of seeing the world through a different lens."

Natalie Patrick, 2025

WHEN THE HORN BLOWS: Track of the Month – “Terrified”

"Taiwan raised, Edinburgh honed, sarya has always set out to do things a little differently. Their execution of differing genres across their catalogue has always been admired, and is no different with pulsating, brand new ambient electronica release 'Terrified'. Millions of streams already, and with every base covered from spoken word, to melancholic electronica, it’s an exciting time to be introduced to sarya."

SNACK MAGAZINE: i'll break my heart (so you don't have to)

"sarya writes music for those seeking importance in the small things. They writes for those who look at the gossamer that surrounds them and brush it away, to more clearly see the meaning in confusing texts and uncertain friendships, however painful that may be. ‘i’ll break my heart (so you don’t have to)’ is a song to listen to if you’re looking for reassurance that unrequited feelings do not mean you’re alone in the world."

Maya Uppal, 2021

SNACK MAGAZINE: 6075 // i miss you

"The artist’s talent for perfectly capturing emotion is on point here with refreshingly honest simplicity, as sarya’s love song to their favourite place reminds us that music can take us anywhere, even if we’re miles away from where we want to be."

Lindsay Corr, 2021

THE HERALD: Top 100 Tunes from Scotland in 2020 #1: i don't know where i'm going (but that's okay)

"This perfectly articulated the feeling of emotional disorientation and heartache that Covid-19 brought, with the power to wash aside the isolation blues with an irresistible cauldron of indie, electronica and folk sounds and the soaring high-pitched vocal melancholy of the Edinburgh-based Taiwanese-American singer-songwriter/poet."

Martin Williams, 2020
