Sithu Aye

Sithu Aye (Burmese: စည်သူမောင်မောင်အေး; born 26 June 1990) is a Scottish-Burmese guitarist, musician, and producer based in Scotland.

[7][8] He also worked on a follow-up to his Senpai EP series, which he announced to be more of a full-length album this time and accompanied by a Visual Novel themed digital story booklet.

The album also stands out from his other releases by the music itself not being the singular focus, since it contains a digital novella, telling a continuous story with each chapter being accompanied by the correspondingly titled song.

[10] During 2021, Sithu Aye announced he was starting his work on a new EP which was supposed to be taking a different approach than his usual Progressive Metal style and instead aiming for the genre of Jazz fusion and Funk.

[15][16] Following this, on 24 March 2024 Aye announced the title, cover artwork and release date of the then upcoming EP Kindness and published its first single Run it Down.

[17][18] Zero Sum Groove was released as the second single on 21 April 2024 alongside a music video filmed and directed by his brother Kaung-Myat Aye.

[20][21] Sithu Aye's music can be described as instrumental progressive metal that is focused on lead guitar, influenced by prominent artists of the early djent scene, such as Periphery and Animals as Leaders.
