AYER – COLD FIRE IN RAIN (Electronica/Balearic – US)

Active since 2013, Ayer is an L.A.-based vocalist, electronic recording and visual artist, whose collaborations with an international roster of producers have shaped his brand of electronica, infused with disco, R&B and electronica.

With his luscious 2016 single ‘Cold Fire in Rain’, Ayer created one of those tracks that feel effortless and sophisticated all at once, a subtle mix of ethereal vocals, layered beats and synthpop dreaminess.

In an interview, the young artist explained that he had “a very musical upbringing. Lots of voice lessons, voice-over recording gigs, and throughout [his] school years and into college, training in classical, choral, music theatre and studio recording.”, but that what made him “learn the most, though, was dissecting and trying to understand pop songs.”
