Wasia Project in Leeds

Wasia Project, the English indie pop duo of siblings Olivia Hardy and William Gao, brings their blend of alt-pop and jazz fusions to Leeds. Known for their debut EP *How Can I Pretend?* and the 2024 follow-up *Isotope*, the band has built a following through soundtrack placements like "Ur So Pretty" on *Heartstopper* and tours with Tom Odell and Laufey.

On stage, Hardy (vocals, guitar) and Gao (keyboards, piano, vocals) are joined by a touring band including drummer Luca Wade, bassist Tom Pacitti, saxophonist Safi Jazz, and trombonist Patrick Minton. Their live shows capture the intimate yet expansive sound of their recordings, with Hardy's violin training and Gao's classical piano background adding depth to their performances.

With their debut album *Nocturne* on the horizon, this concert offers a chance to hear both established favorites and new material in an intimate setting. The duo's growing reputation for sophisticated songwriting and engaging live shows makes this a standout date for indie pop fans.
