Aya Metwalli (*1988 in cairo) is an Egyptian vocalist, composer and performer. She grew up in Cairo and was classically trained in Arabic singing during her childhood and teen years. In her adult years, Aya’s interest shifted towards noise, dissonance and experimental vocal work. Her current practice is an attempt to wander in between and merge the worlds of the Arabic micro-tonalities and the atonality of contemporary Western music.
