Jaya Bremer has been singing since before she had front teeth, and that’s no exaggeration (which she didn’t have until 4th grade, but that’s a different story). Based in Victoria, British Columbia, Bremer has been a part of the Victoria music scene for nearly a decade — fronting and managing a gypsy jazz quintet, a Patsy Cline tribute band, an indie-rock band called Wise Child, and most recently launching her own solo project with the release of her 2020 album Everybody’s Getting Married.

She has regularly been a featured artist at the TD Victoria International Jazz Festival. She has played festivals Song & Surf in Port Renfrew, and Phillips Backyard Weekend in Victoria, and was named a Vancouver Island regional Semi-Finalist for CBC Searchlight 2017. She is currently recording her follow up album, with the first single released in November, 2023.

Bremer is back with her swoon-worthy blend of bedroom pop, indie RnB, and soft electronic on her latest solo effort, “Apartment 4”, out November 10, 2023. Teaming up with producers Austin Tufts (of Montreal band Braids) and Victoria’s Chris Neal, Bremer has dove deep into expansive synth-scapes on the single, drawing from the dreamy electro worlds of acts like Metronomy paired with the heart- on-sleeve ethos of Robyn.

RECOGNITION

“Setting out on her own, she has crafted a lush brand of dream pop, marring nostalgic emotion with human warmth to form a tender and bittersweet sound.”

-Various Small Flames

'"Everybody’s Getting Married" is like a sepia-toned photo of an old friend: dreamy, intimate, optimistic, yet melancholic, with strong qualities of nostalgia."
