Event information

Creating stories through sounds and words is at the centre of Evie Asio’s musical world. Evie grew up in South-East London, where she used the range of musical styles around her to begin writing songs at the age of 15. Throughout her journey, Evie has performed at notable venues such as The Spice of Life, Proud Camden and O2 Academy2 Islington, as well as supporting BAYLI on her London headline show in 2022.

In November 2022, Evie Asio released her debut album ‘Contending and Contention’, a 9-track concept album dealing with the themes of struggle and self-reflection that she has explored in her own personal battles. The album received critical acclaim in various publications, including Something Else! And Jazz in Europe. Songs across the album have received international radio play, with singles ‘Available’ and ‘From Here’ being named as China Moses’ ‘Late Night Track of the Week’ on Jazz FM, and ‘Turning Time’ and ‘Imperfect People’ being featured on BBC6 Music.
