Say She She, the female-led discodelic soul band, is making waves with their sophomore album, Silver. Fronted by the harmonizing trio of Piya Malik, Sabrina Mileo Cunningham, and Nya Gazelle Brown, the band blends buttery vocals, funky basslines, and up-tempo grooves to create a unique sound described as “boundary-busting discodelic soul.” Recorded live to tape, Silver showcases their punk-chic, femme-forward sensibility and has been praised for its joyful elation and spiritual elevation.

A graduate of Stivers School for the Arts and Wright State University with a degree in Organizational Leadership focused on Youth & Community Engagement, she blends artistry with purpose—singing not just to entertain, but to transform.
