If Miya Zawa isn't on your radar yet, now's the time to fix that. Since her debut single "So Sick" dropped in March 2025, she's earned support from triple j Unearthed, Spotify, Apple Music, US college radio, and a string of blogs with genuine taste.
She's played Dragon Dreaming, Dulwich Hill Festival, and Woodford Folk Festival, so this isn't a bedroom-producer-who-never-leaves-the-bedroom situation, even though the bedroom-studio energy is very much part of the appeal.
Her mixtape 8 Diary Entries was written across Sydney, Tokyo, Canberra, and Wagga, shaped by her Japanese-Australian heritage, and it's the kind of project you end up obsessed with before you can explain why: confessional, cinematic, and completely her own.
Catch her on the 'Headphones' Tour. Single out July 28.
