Ethereal, self-produced pop that feels like a warm exhale. Intimate vocal layers and minimalist beats for moments of quiet self-reflection and inner strength.

Tosya Chaikina creates a sound that is both fragile and fiercely independent. Her music often feels like a private conversation overheard in a dream, characterized by a unique approach to vocal layering that she famously pioneered using just her iPhone. It is art-pop that doesn't try too hard to be avant-garde, instead focusing on the emotional resonance of a single melody or a whispered affirmation.
What sets her apart is the 'affirmation' quality of her songwriting. Her lyrics often function as mantras for self-love and resilience, delivered with a vocal range that can shift from a delicate, breathy falsetto to a powerful, soul-inflected belt in a single phrase. The production is typically sparse, allowing the human element of her voice to provide the primary texture and rhythm.
Start with the album '25' or 'Sdelano v iPhone' to understand her DIY roots. These records capture the essence of her creative process: spontaneous, deeply personal, and sonically shimmering. It is perfect for anyone who appreciates the intimacy of bedroom pop but craves the sophisticated melodic sensibilities of modern R&B.
