Ujma Aga - 345

Facts Singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Aga Ujma grew up in Poland raised on a diet of folk music from the mountain village where her mother was raised. Signing herself up a music school while only 8 years old to study classical piano and musical theory, Aga became obsessed with Gamelan music. Moving to Java in her twenties to study traditional music and sing at the Indonesian Institute of Arts, she joined an experimental music collective and toured extensively around the Indonesian archipelago. Drawing influence along the way from her studies in Renaissance and Baroque Music, her fascinations with punk and noise, and a contemporary-folk palette of Björk, Eivør, Múm and CocoRosie - Aga released her debut EP Songs of Innocence and Experience in 2021.
