Imagine a happy Feist mixed with a young Björk and you’d be coming close to Australian-born, Berlin-based Phia. Her new single “Do You Ever?” features the otherworldly sound of her trademark African kalimba, and the loops and layers of her enchanting voice echo her unique and arresting live show which has fast gained her a reputation around Europe.
To celebrate the upcoming single’s release, Phia is touring around Germany this October. She is bringing “Mez Medallion”, AKA Joshua Teicher, the producer of her single with her. Combining his love of acoustic and electronic instruments with samples and the head-nodding joy of the pop song hook, Joshua weaves an immersive and adventurous brand of cleverly written electropop. He will be opening each show and also joining her on stage in her band.
An “outstanding talent” (Timber and Steel), Australian-born Berlin-based Phia sings fiercely astute and poignant indie-pop. Her unique and arresting solo live show is fast gaining a reputation around Europe. Armed only with a loop pedal she layers hand-claps, vocal percussion and her african kalimba to create a captivating, dance-able experience.
Mez Medallion is the moniker of Australian-born/Berlin-based musician, producer, songwriter & singer Joshua Teicher. Combining his love of acoustic and electronic instruments with samples and the head-nodding joy of the pop song hook, Joshua weaves an immersive and adventurous brand of cleverly written electropop.
