Handsome Tours are proud to present Saya Gray, making her Australian debut this December! Japanese-Canadian artist Saya Gray has a unique ability to create a collage of sounds that feel both comforting and disorienting, vast yet intimate. Her releases so far, 2022’s ‘19MASTERS’ , 2023’s ‘QWERTY I’ and 2024’s 'QWERTY II' were made in periods of intense isolation, and as Saya herself describes it, she puts ‘1000 personalities in one song’.  It’s this unfiltered, frenzied approach to her art that she feels is necessary to reclaim her sense of self in an ever changing world - and in the process marking her as one of the most exciting, up and coming musicians operating today. 2025 is set to be a landmark year for Saya as she releases her debut album “SAYA” – by far her most personal and intimate project to date.
