Ayla Nereo came from the hills of Sonoma County, a child grown on blackberries and books. The lines of vision and waves of hearing brushed her shoulder one day, and it started to come out as music.
Ayla and brother Davyd (of That Blasted Hound) play together as Beatbeat Whisper.
Keep an eye to the sky and an ear to the sounds around… There is a revolution of conscious hearing, a casting-off of bitter judgement, and it’s in your eyes.
“Ayla Nereo’s voice was shocking in its starkness, beautiful.”
~ Tiny Mix Tapes
“With the pared down sound, her voice blossoms.”
~ The Bay Bridged
“The stories weaved from the loom of Ayla’s mind are gloriously sweet, childhood myths and memories…”
~ The Deli SF
