Spotify’s EQUAL Canada brand was created to amplify fearless, captivating, and driven female musicians who are reshaping the music landscape—and few embody that mission better than Saya Gray. As the January ambassador for Spotify’s EQUAL Canada playlist, Saya Gray represents a new era of artistry. Her sound defies genre, her lyrics hit with emotional resonance, and her presence as a Japanese-Scottish artist raised in Toronto brings a unique cultural perspective to her music.
With tracks like “SHELL (OF A MAN)” and “AA BOUQUET FOR YOUR 180 FACE,” Saya has established herself as an artist to watch. Her upcoming debut solo album SAYA, set to release next month, promises to catapult her even further into global recognition. The Spotify EQUAL playlist celebrates groundbreaking artists like Saya, and it’s the perfect stage to showcase her intimate and vibrant soundscapes.
Saya Gray’s music feels like it belongs everywhere at once. It’s a stunning fusion of folk, rock, pop, and influences you can’t quite place—intentionally so.

This is the kind of artist who doesn’t just push boundaries; she turns them into entirely new landscapes.
