Ayria has toured alongside bands: VNV Nation, Combichrist, Project Pitchfork, The Cruxshadows and Angelspit, and has opened shows for legendary bands Front Line Assembly and Front 242 in the past.
The music: Ayria blends elements of industrial, electro, synth pop, 80’s, punk, and dance.

Influences
Mainly personal experiences that come from things that I see, hear, read and live. Here's a list of things that cause me to get out of bed in the morning: music (writing, making, listening & dancing to), reading (mostly sci-fi, crime scene), movies (comedy), Lost, coffee, eating sushi, puppies, touring, hanging out with friends at "The Bistro", rollerblading, the colour pink, girlie stuff like hair, cosmetics & clothing, chocolate, cooking, big dirty bass lines, beatz, dancing, Battlestar Galactica, Flight of the Conchords, CSI, my Nord Lead 2 keyboard, interwebbing.
hey miss Jennifer. i know you probably won't answer this Email being so busy but i was wondering could i ask you opinion on something? i really need some help. i feel like you could help me. don't worry its nothing music releated....well it kinda sorta is but kinda sorta not. it would be really nice if i could talk to you.
Being the crazy person I am, I listen to almost any music. Got a look like Avril Lavigne, sound a bit like Lady Gaga (voice only, style is waaaay different), style like nothing else I've heard so far, and just plain awesome!
