Bishat Araya

Bishat is a rising Swedish artist and songwriter who was named “Best New Artist” by Pigeons & Planes and Highsnobiety, and who wrote her first ever song with José Gonzalez at thirteen. She mixes catchy melodies with deep and sometimes agonisingly truthful lyrics and though she has been compared to the likes of Tove Lo, FKA Twigs & early the Weeknd her R&B-influenced pop sound is familiar yet all her own. Bishat self-released her first three tracks on her own label MINAMIN and has already racked up millions of streams, airplay in UK, Sweden, Germany & France and charting on Spotify’s global Viral chart. The buzz around her is inevitable. Her latest release Q417 (Mixtape) has been praised by media and audiences alike further cementing her as one of the most promising new artist coming out of Sweden. Bishat was recently handpicked by Spotify & Max Martin for their newly founded Equalizer Project.
