Aphty Khéa

Last updated: 5 days ago

BBC Radio 1 supported, queer Greek-British artist producer, singer and visual artist Aphty Khéa, blends driving beats and captivating melodies, that journey from warm harmonies, to distorted and aggressive tongue-in-cheek shouting. Their top-lines are performed in English and Greek, and their productions explore the world of electronica, UK rave culture & electropunk/electroclash.
Lyrically, Aphty Khéa touches on social commentary, gender identity/queerness, and existentialism. With a musical background that spans choir from the age of six, studying classical singing and piano at school, winning junior Eurovision TV Song Contest in Greece as a child, moving to London at 18 to study a BA in songwriting at ICMP; session playing for Jordan Rakei and Rachel Chinouriri, to finally find themselves between Berlin and London, community organising and making thought provoking music.

Supported on Radio 1 with Jamz Supernova, BBC Introducing Dance with Jaguar, 6 Music with Lauren Laverne, Mary Anne Hobbs and Tom Ravenscroft, NTS, FluxFM and Rinse FM, as well as features on DJ Mag, CLASH, The Fader, KALTBLUT Magazine, Mixmag, Beatport, Music Tech, and guest mixes on Radio 1, Rinse FM, Selector Radio and Worldwide FM.
