Singer and Songwriter Jeyaia Releases Debut Single “Rising” in the Hopes of Inspiring Others to Find Their Truth

Sydney-based soul singer and songwriter Jeyaia is stirring up the music industry with her newly launched debut single “Rising.” The songstress has elucidated how “Rising” is a self-empowering narrative of recognizing true freedom and breaking free from the chains of conditional love. Jeyaia’s music is a passion-driven, artistic expression of connecting with the soul through her sultry tones, ethereal harmonies, and neo-soul influences. The song’s lyrics are heavily inspired by Jeyaia’s metaphorically-compelled story of a butterfly emerging from the cocoon, representing the songwriter’s particulars.

Jeyaia’s “Rising” was created after her spontaneous jam session with a Sydney-based multi-instrumentalist and music producer, Otis James, at his home studio. The delicate songstress remembers how the producer was totally in the zone, playing with some soulful piano chords until she clicked with it and began to form the song’s chorus at the back of her head. She hurried home later that day and penned the rest of the lyrics, ultimately creating her marvelous debut single. 

Jeyaia’s musical prowess is undeniable, partly thanks to the fact that she grew up in a musical household, with her mother being a singer and saxophonist and her step-father being a singer and pianist. Surprisingly, it seems that both her parents are in the same blues band, with some of Jeyaia’s memories included being nestled among the many amps stuffed in the back of the van and dancing under the summer night sky as they fall asleep in the grass to the sentimental sounds of Duke Ellington, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah Vaughan.

“Music was a huge part of my childhood, and my earliest memories are all shaped around what I think of as the soundtrack of that chapter in my life,” the songstress affectionately recalls. “I remember my nan and pop playing Nat King Cole on the player while we put up our Christmas tree. I remember singing in the back of the car with my family on the way to our summer holiday, and I recall experiencing this certain excitement when I’m off to attend my parent’s weekend gigs.”

It comes as no secret that music has played a defining role in Jeyaia’s journey. Coming from humble beginnings, Jeyaia started her career with the help of social media, performing covers of well-known songs and putting them up in spaces like YouTube. As she continued to improve, Jeyaia built quite a dedicated fan base, awaiting the release of her original music. Finally, through her debut single, “Rising,” she can establish her message and energy to the world. 

“Music is my everything. I believe in the amazing power music has when it comes to shifting our energetic state; and I would be so lost without it,” Jeyaia shares, adding that it brings her honor to bring forth all the lessons she’s learned into the energy of her music and continue to inspire others to find their inner truth.

Jeyaia hopes to inspire others to take the leap and be the masters of their fate through her soulful music. She aspires to awaken as many individuals as possible to the truth of their divine sovereignty, innate power, and freedom.
