Ahya Simone - Neptunian Blue (2025) [Hi-Res]

Ahya Simone is an eclectically elusive siren and multidisciplinary artist from Detroit. As a harpist, composer, and filmmaker, she traverses through the world of sound, moving image, and performance. Ever since she began singing in a church choir as a child, her passion for music has only grown when she was introduced to the harp as a teen. Drawing inspiration from her favorite contemporary artists, she began to mix R&B/soul, jazz, and experimental elements into her works and performances.

Additionally, Ahya's music caught the eye of acclaimed filmmaker, dream hampton, where she co- composed music for "Treasure: From Tragedy To Trans Justice Mapping A Detroit Story '' (2015)- sparking her interest in exploring sound and image. With the support of Detroit Narrative Agency, in 2018 Ahya directed and her first short film, "Femme Queen Chronicles'' (co-created with Paige Wood and Brè Rivera) about three Black trans women living in Detroit which was lauded at several film festivals for its exploration of identity through visuals and sound.
