Bio

Saya arrives, like all natural stars, fully formed. Raised in Toronto, Canada, but dividing her time today between there and Los Angeles, she is a 22-year-old singer weaving fusionist pop for a fusionist pop world. Saya’s love of love of hip hop, jazz, funk and soul sit side by side with a seemingly incongruous passion for erotica and Italian horror.
