As humans we have all felt the heaviness from the last couple of years, especially AYA YVES. Her focus shifted and she aligned her life with things that make her feel excited, inspired and at peace. “I feel lightest when I feel insignificant, when I feel small in a big world.”

feeling small (let the light in) captures the feeling of when you climb a mountain or gaze at the stars and feel small and insignificant – but in a really empowering way. We are all just tiny specs, floating through endless space – so why sweat the small stuff? Do the things that scare you, listen to your inner child, chase what sets your soul on fire and don’t forget to let the light in along the way.
This track was co-written with long-time collaborators of Aya, Bri Clark & Xavier Dunn. It was produced and mixed by Xavier Dunn and mastered by Andrew Edgeson at Studios 301.

AYA YVES Bio:
AYA YVES was the birth of a new creative project for Sydney based singer-songwriter Vendulka who has always used music to express her internal exploration. Finding herself under a newfound confident light, this project really allowed her to combine the candid vulnerability she found through a previous folk project, with her experimental leaning influences of artists like Banks and Tove Lo. The darker pop sound was unveiled through lead single ‘(in)Sanity’ and was honed even further on ‘Smart Girls’.
Gaining a lot of immediate acclaim, she began shedding more layers of her artistry through the raw and heartbreaking sentiments of ‘Dear E’ and ‘Brave’. Putting her vulnerable songwriting under a microscope, she gave a contrastingly strong outlook of what this project would look, sound and feel like the deeper she got into it.
Her debut EP ‘What We Look With The Light On’ saw Aya clock up over 750,000 streams across platforms, showcase at the inaugural APRA AMCOS Queer Express Yourself, land supports for Montaigne & Hands Like Houses, placed her in the top 40 of the prestigious Vanda & Young Songwriting competition and pack out two shows at the iconic Oxford Art Factory – no small feat for an independent emerging artist.
