Let us introduce you to Los Angeles one-to-watch DIYA who has been honing her craft since she was 5-years-old. From learning piano alongside her father to polishing her vocals in choir, this artist’s passion for music has clearly been a life-long pursuit and that determination is evident in tracks like ‘Satellite’. As her newest single, this release reflects DIYA’s fascination with the timeless sounds of funk, disco and pop. From the first few seconds, listeners are embraced by kinetic grooves, sleek-yet-buoyant rhythms, house-driven pulse, sparkling disco textures, soulful haziness and warm R&B melodies. This nostalgic dance-floor aesthetic is grounded by DIYA’s smooth, emotionally aware and self-assured vocal presence.
What has given ‘Satellite’ such a seemingly effortless vibe is the process of creation and recreation that it has gone through. DIYA originally penned the track with producer Hayden Thomas years ago, but (like so many things) it was put on ice during the covid-19 pandemic. Later, the artist returned to this preserved gem to bring it back to life in collaboration with MECCA. The result is this cosmic and otherworldly soundscape steeped in DIYA’s sophisticated intuition. As such, ‘Satellite’ welcomes in every listener, encouraging them to embrace joy, confidence and human connection.
