Born in paradise - Mauritius. Raised in Melbourne on a diet of Michael Jackson, Nirvana, Kylie Minogue and UB40. Then boom - moved to London at 11. North London became my new concrete jungle, where I soaked in everything from grime to Arabic beats.

Self-taught, multi-instrumental, also run my own record label and I’m little dramatic—yeah, I bring that to my music too. Now I’m diving into AI, cooking up sounds with samples and a DAW I’m still getting used to.Music’s always been my way of making sense of the world. Hope you feel it too.

Inclusive ethos always.

Queer Greek-British producer, singer, composer and visual artist Aphty Khéa, blends driving beats and captivating melodies, that journey from warm and blissful harmonies, to distorted and aggressive tongue-in-cheek shouting. Their toplines are performed in English and Greek, and their productions explore the world of electronica, dance & UK rave culture, starting from electronic pop, and moving on to deconstructed club, house, garage and drum & bass. 

Supported on Radio 1 by Jamz Supernova on and Jaguar on BBC Introducing Dance, their latest EP 'Salt & Copper' received a warm welcome, with further features included on 6 Music with Lauren Laverne, DJ Mag, Mixmag, Beatport and KALTBLUT Magazine. 

Lyrically, Aphty bears tales of vulnerability with poetic messages, touching on subjects of queerness, gender identity, social anxiety, death, existentialism, sex, menstruation and radical self love. Using a mixture of chopped, pasted and edited samples, they surgically dissect every sound they make including synths, piano, percussion, whilst sampling every single vocal style that exists is their voice.  Moving between Berlin, London and Athens, Aphty Khéa builds a hard-hitting visual sound world, offering through their music videos a glimpse into their imagined sonic dreamland.

With a musical background that spans choir from the age of six, studying classical singing and piano at school, winning junior Eurovision in Greece, then swapping their home country for London at 18 to study contemporary singing and vocals at the ICMP Music Institute, and finally a BA degree in songwriting. Beyond composing, performing and producing their music Aphty, has participated in the radical left scenes of Greece, France and Germany standing in solidarity for dignified living in the LGBTQIA+,  anti-capitalist, antiracist, antifascist and antisexist scenes.
