Biography
Composed of Misa Akayzia Parker (vocals and rhythm guitar), Adam East (lead guitar), Emmanuel Folorunso (bass) and Jose Joyette (drums), Akayzia is a spirited and emerging indie-pop band.
Bored with life as a solo singer songwriter, Misa decided to start a band with her long-time friend Adam who she met while attending music school. With influences such as Grand Master Flash, Pavement, Dinosaur Junior, Blind lemon Jefferson, and sonic youth, they quickly developed a strong musical identity. The duo was soon joined by Emmanuel and Jose, whom like Misa love underground comics.
Misa spent her teens in Queens NY, but was born in London like the other Akayzia members’ who’s heritage merge into chilled-out rock strengthened by evocative yet thrilling lyrics. Travelling from sensitive vocals to red-blooded rifs, through subtle distortions, Akayzia mesmerises its audience. With a fair number of shows, club nights and even a newly set-up fanzine, they show urban life through their lens and don’t hesitate to let it all go.
