Miya Zawa is a sultry joyride of R&B, Soul, Pop & Dub. Her Japanese & Australian roots influence this project from a sonic and lyrical sense. With the writing process spread across Sydney, Tokyo, Canberra & Wagga, Miya’s songs are shaped by the cities and towns that inspire them. Collaged together in a bedroom paradise where experiments and uncharted waters await. The songs are an emotional outlet. The aural manifestations of words and ideas from Miya Zawa’s diary.
Their debut single ‘So Sick’ was released in March 2025 and released a few more throughout the year. With early support from music blogs, Spotify, Apple Music, triple j, Unearthed and US College radio stations. They’ve also performed at Dragon Dreaming Festival, Dulwich Hill Festival and unofficially at Woodford Folk Festival. They’ve also embarked on an East Coast headline tour in support of their dub single ‘Giddy Giggles’ in October last year. Building momentum, Miya Zawa recently released a mixtape called ‘8 Diary Entries’ (Feb 17, 2026).
Miya Zawa will be joined at Franks Wild Years by Chelsea Daghita.
