I'm Aydra
A NorCal native with a strong sense of independence, I began writing music, performing, creating, and pursuing spirit-based living at 13. I adopted the name Aydra at 24 and eventually added the J and Swan to form my brand, later becoming ÆYDRA as a musical artist.
As a serial creator with no formal education, I went from plant-based private cheffing for celebrities in Los Angeles to running a 5-star photo/video experience in 3 countries, all while polishing my skills as a musician, songwriter, and performance artist. Since 2012, I've produced and performed hundreds of shows, published 4 albums, countless singles, and dozens of music videos. In 2023, I launched my exclusive supper club, The Pink Swan, modeled after a pop-art, circa-themed 'Dinner and Show' concept.
For the last 9 years, I've called the high desert of Joshua Tree home between travels. My album Odyssee was independently released on 11.11.22 and recently my first vinyl run Iliad of Rainbows emerged summer, 2024.
On May 11'th 2024 I released Touch Me and on 11.11.23 the popular single, Close 2 U.
April 25th 2025, Love to Let Go was released with No Doubt's Stephen Bradley.
In 2026, I'm performing regularly Torch singing and bringing my new 16-song album, Calypso's Revenge, into the world, followed by a stab at a European tour and the launch of my perfume, Swan Scents.
Museum Wall Artist Statement:
Aeydra creates music and media for the moment after the illusion breaks and the heart cracks open.
Blending cinematic pop, soul, and torch-lit storytelling, she writes from the fault line between devastation and rebirth. Her work explores heartbreak and adversity not as an ending, but as initiation — the burning away of what no longer serves.
As a writer and engineer of her own material, she shapes each record as both confession and atmosphere. The stage becomes ritual. The song becomes reclamation.
Calypso’s Revenge marks a turning point: the woman who survives the storm and walks out luminous.
