Anthony Arya & Taylor Rae

Two of Santa Cruz's Favorite Songwriters

Anthony Arya:
Santa Cruz teenager Anthony Arya is often described as an old soul - his original tunes appeal to all ages. His roots as a jazz guitarist shape the melodies combined with his broad musical influences spanning from the swinging jazz of the twenties to the bluesy rock of the sixties. His voice a unique tone with a natural rasp makes for captivating performances. Shortly after Arya appeared on national TV on Season 15 of NBCs The Voice, he released his debut album, Going To California. Now, Arya has a growing fan base who love everything about his live performances and are streaming his music. Fans say you're likely to walk away humming one of his tunes for days after a performance.

Taylor Rae:
Taylor Rae is a guitarist/singer/songwriter born and raised in the mountains of Santa Cruz, California. She modernizes her unique 60s & 70s inspired sound while blending r&b, jazz, funk and blues/rock into a beautiful melting pot of organic music she calls "Soul and Roll". In 2017 she was awarded the Santa Cruz NEXTies "Musician of the Year."
