“Freya has been carefully developing her sound and the proof is in the honey-filled pudding that will melt your ears.” - British Vogue
“Street-soul is back” - Gilles Peterson
“An exceptional record.” - Tom Robinson, 6Music
Steadily making her mark on the nu-jazz and alt-soul scene, 2026 is signalling an exciting year for British-German artist and producer Freya Roy. Signifying a new era, this will see the release of new music shaped by the last 5 years spent producing and collaborating with some of the finest artists and musicians across the UK, kicking off with a long awaited, full-length collaboration with Maya Law.
With her forthcoming solo project also in sight, she has been adding some valuable credit to her name, recently contributing additional production to a legendary collaboration between Sean Kuti, Talib Kweli and Vector, on tracks “Higher Consciousness” and “African Dreams - II”.
Following the success of her 2022 EP 'For Who I Have Become' - a transformative EP symbolising Freya navigating health struggles and rebuilding herself as an artist - her engrossing vocals and productions have captured the attention of 6 Music’s Gilles Peterson - declaring “Street-soul is back”. She’s also gained recognition from British Vogue, COLORS, Jamz Supernova on BBC 1Xtra, Don Letts and Jamie Cullum, as well as on Radio 1 where she was selected as Gemma Bradley's 'Top Tip'.
She has taken the stage at Latitude festival with a stunning performance on the BBC Introducing stage, and performed a Selector Radio Session presented by Jamz Supernova for The British Council, recorded at the infamous Premises Studios in London (home to Nina Simone, FKA Twigs and Amy Winehouse).
