Experience Thanya Iyer

Thanya Iyer is a Canadian-Indian composer, producer, and vocalist based in Montreal, known for her intricately layered and genre-bending music. Initially gaining recognition as the frontwoman of the indie band Bombay Montrose, Iyer transitioned to a solo career in 2016, releasing her debut album *Truth Decay* which explored themes of identity and displacement through experimental electronic soundscapes.

Her critically acclaimed 2023 album, *Kindred*, further solidified her unique artistic voice, blending elements of jazz, electronica, R&B, and Indian classical music. Iyer’s production is characterized by complex rhythmic structures, vocal processing, and a deeply personal lyrical approach. She frequently incorporates field recordings and found sounds into her work.

Iyer has received nominations for the Polaris Music Prize (for *Kindred* in 2023) and was longlisted in previous years. She's been praised by publications like *Pitchfork*, *The Guardian*, and *Bandcamp Daily* for her innovative sound design and emotionally resonant compositions. Beyond album releases, Iyer actively scores for film and dance, demonstrating versatility within her artistic practice. Her work consistently challenges conventional genre boundaries while maintaining a distinctly intimate quality.
