LEYA / Berlin Concert

LEYA, the avant-pop duo of harpist Marilu Donovan and vocalist/violinist Adam Markiewicz, have defied expectations throughout their career, obtaining a singular, legendary status for their unmistakably beautiful and disturbing work. LEYA’s distinctive sound has drawn collaborative attention from artists across genres and mediums.

Following the release of their very first single in 2018, they were approached by rapper Brooke Candy to provide scoring and live acting for her adult film I Love You, which was produced by Pornhub for its Visionaries' Directors Series, and featured sound design by Sega Bodega. After an initial feature on The Fool, LEYA followed with 2019’s collaborative EP Angel Lust with Eartheater, with whom they have continued a close working relationship.

Following the release of Flood Dream LEYA released remixes with Actress, Drew McDowall (Coil/Psychic TV), and Christina Vantzou, and an additional single with Liturgy. In 2022, they unveiled a fully collaborative mixtape, Eyeline, which featured nine guests. Additional notable musical collaborations include Ecco2K, Chanel Beads, Varg2TM, Julie Byrne, Okay Kaya, Claire Rousay, Martha Skye Murphy, Deli Girls, James K, and many others.

LEYA have also worked with fashion designers Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein x i-D, Acne Studios, Elena Velez, HoodbyAir, Zoe Gustavia Anna Whalen, and many more, video artists including Charles Atlas, choreographers including Loni Landon, and a myriad of others in varying modes of performance, scoring, and installations.
