Based in Victoria, British Columbia, electro-indie-pop artist Jaya Bremer has been a vibrant part of the Victoria music scene for nearly a decade. She has fronted and managed a variety of projects and launched her solo career with the release of her 2020 album, Everybody’s Getting Married.
Following her debut album, Jaya has released several singles, including “Apartment 4,” “Our Potential,” and “My Expectations,” leading up to her forthcoming sophomore album, Stay Tender, set to release in early fall 2024. Teaming up with producers Austin Tufts (of Montreal band Braids) and Victoria’s Chris Neal, Bremer dove deep into expansive synth-scapes on the album.
Jaya's sound is reminiscent of Metric, Imogen Heap, Robyn, and Japanese Breakfast, making a swoon-worthy blend of bedroom pop, indie RnB, and soft electronic.
Jaya has been featured at many of Vancouver Island’s biggest festivals, including Song & Surf, the TD International Victoria Jazz Festival, The Harbour Blues and Roots Festival, and Phillips Backyard Weekend. She has toured throughout BC and Alberta, served as a resident singer-songwriter at the Banff Centre for the Arts, and received airplay on both commercial and college radio stations.
