Arra Di Allas is the solo project of Belgian singer and songwriter/composer Astrid Creve. She is inspired by artists such as Nick Drake, Sufjan Stevens, Lhasa de Sela, Joanna Newsom... and sporadically hints to pop and cult music from the 70's and 80's. In '23 she released a first EP, titled: "Are you a sinking ship, or a submarine?". On this EP she displays a series of original songs which she labels "useless lovesongs (for all who need them)", accompanying her warm and powerful voice with a unique combination of mandolin, casio-keyboards and sousaphone​​
​
Today Arra di Allas is preparing to record a full album at the end of ‘26. This series of original works will be called "To Be A Tree". It is a research into what it means to be a human being in its most natural form and into the invisible network that connects us all. The album will star Di Allas solo, in duo with Marco Giongrandi on voice, banjo and guitar, andwith her 8-piece choir “Magnificent Hug”. It will be an unexpected mix of folk/pop songs and contemporary minimalist choir music.
Arra Di Allas & Marco Giongrandi release a first duo EP, “In a Shell”, in november ‘25.
