  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Aya Inoue has been a singer-songwriter floating around the Burlington Vermont area since 2002. When she first moved to Vermont, she found herself being drawn to performing more music, and thus began meeting various local musicians through the years. Gradually, Aya began to play her own music out in public - getting the opportunity to meet more and more talented and wonderful musicians. Over the years, Aya has played with various performers, primarily as an accompanying singer. She has been known to sing/record with artists such as Mike Gordon & Ramble Dove, Brett Hugh's Honky Tonk Tuesdays, Lowell Thompson, Marie Claire, and Vermont-based RAQ. For years she felt safer singing other people's works, but as of September 2007, she decided to form a band of her own and bring her "journals" to the surface. Aya describes The Leaves as a collaborative effort by four musicians to bring music that speaks to people. "I write the words and the melodies most of the time, but that's about it. I basically bring a skeleton song to the band and they make it twenty times better." The best high a person can feel is to connect with other musicians and realize that a song is taking on a life of its own. The Leaves hope to reach out and connect with an audience through the rawness and powerful emotions of their music. Life is full of ups and downs... music gives this band a great way to express those emotions. .. .. ..
