Alewya is the alias of London-based Ethiopian-Egyptian singer, songwriter, producer, and visual artist Alewya Demmisse. Her debut full-length album Zero came out on June 26th and it's a thrilling display of her genre-melding sound that blends together a wide array of R&B, electronic, global, and pop styles in soulful, magnetic fashion.
Much like her own music, Alewya's guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World covers a wide range of styles as she showcases some of her all-time favorite tracks that inspired Zero, while mixing in a few tracks from her breakthrough album as well.
