Rye is a singer-songwriter based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Her sound is shaped by her growing up in Vilnius, Lithuania, surrounded by experimental rock and underground electronic music and the evocative tradition of sung poetry. She explores her passion for languages by singing in English, her native Lithuanian, and Spanish, and by integrating spoken word into her compositions.
Themes in her music explore the complexities of human nature, our tendencies towards ambivalence, and our limitations, particularly during our darkest times.
Rye aims to highlight the profound link between strength and vulnerability and instil a sense of hope in her listeners while staying grounded in reality. This is heard in her haunting and fragile vocal tones and poignant, yet empowering melodies.
