Ria Soemardjo is a Melbourne based musician with a passion for collaborating with artists across diverse range of genres and art forms. Her distinct, haunting vocal style reflects her Australian/Indonesian cultural heritage and she draws on her fascination for Indonesian musical traditions in her song writing and collaborative projects.

  • connecting with her father through singing
  • finding time to pause during the day in the face of overwhelm
  • learning about her father through reconnecting to her culture
  • how she uses and creates rituals in everyday life when remembering loved ones.
