ARA is a British singer-songwriter, born and raised in West London.

Having a passion for music from an early age, she started writing and recording on her laptop, taking inspiration from jazz, downtempo contemporary R&B and minimal electronica, which led to carefully crafting a genre-defying sound.

Likened to a mix of London Grammar and Lana Del Rey, at the same time evoking a feeling reminiscent of early Portishead.

ARA has a passion for electronic music and is currently collaborating with prolific artists in the house and techno space, including Hannah Wants, Tom Westy and TAPIWA.
