The band consists of vocalist Emélie Nicolaï, guitarist Kristof De Clerck and producer / composer Yves Schelpe. Experimentation is one of the main philosophies of Psy’Aviah. This is portrayed in both incorporating different genres into their own sound and the different collaborations they have done over the years: from poetry with Suzi Q. Smith and Jean-Luc De Meyer (Front 242), to EBM power-pop with Jennifer Parkin (Ayria), even to Enya-esque reminders with Kristell Lowagie… Due to this experimentation in both music and lyrics, the band fits well on different stages, catering both gothic and electronic festival, as well as the more experimental shows. Formed in 2003, but mainly focusing on experimenting and playing live shows, the band really took form in 2007 when releasing their first album “Creationism”. After that release Psy’Aviah was signed to “Alfa Matrix” records and with them released the albums “Entertainment Industries” (2008), “Eclectric” / “Eclectricism Limited Edition” (2010) and “Into The Game EP” featuring Ayria (2011).
