Bio

Downtempo/Chillout/Lounge Electronica in the style of Zero7, Massive Attack, Thievery Corporation. Seamlessly fuses intelligent lyrics and strong grooves, fronted by the beautiful voice of Ayesha, with latin percussion from Estéban, funky bass-lines, jazz-influenced keyboards, samples, DJ beats, guitars, and soaring strings.

Ayesha’s ‘magnetic personality and powerful live performance’ (www.atiza.com review) has earned them a large following in Barcelona, where they are based and guarantees “an energetic and eclectic show” (BCN Nightlife). Residencies and gigs include the Apolo [2], City Hall, Club13, Oven, New York Club Barcelona, plus UK festivals appearances on Shambala’s main stage, Glastonbury’s Leftfield stage as well as main stage at the UK organised Rocket Festival in Granada, Barcelona’s BAM festival on the Plaça Catalunya stage, InVICtro festival and San Sebastian’s Jazz festival Jazzaldia alongside names like Erykah Badu and Herbie Hancock.

They've released an ep, "club13", and recently appeared on Spain’s TV3 as well as on the 2006 Christmas ad for Catalunya’s leading cava Cordoniu. Their debut album "Make it Right This Time" was released in June 2007 on their own local label Xiringuitomusic with distribution via iTunes and Amazon. And they have just come back from a tour in the UK and France with great gigs including the Thekla Social in Bristol, The Social in Nottingham, The Exeter Phoenix as well as festival appearances at Beautiful Days and Shambala main stage.

Misnoma tracks have been licensed to compilations including Soundial, Barcelona Raval Sessions Vol3 and New Sound Theory Vol4.
