Music like Ayla Nereo

Beatbeat Whisper is an American indie folk band from the San Francisco Bay area in California, and has gained a reputation on both coasts of the United States. The band is composed of sibling singer-songwriters, Ayla Nereo and Davyd Nereo. Their music has been described as "folk-based music touched with chords of bluegrass, traditional folksongs, dancy rock ballads, classical piano sonatas, and pirate shanties."

The band released their self-titled debut album Beatbeat Whisper in 2007, followed by Wonder Continental in 2008.

Ayla and Davyd were born and raised in Sonoma County, California, outside Windsor, California, and were both homeschooled until high school. Raised in a musical family, they grew up playing kazoos, recorders and other instruments at home. Influenced by classical piano sonatas, high school punk bands, and traditional folk songs, Ayla and Davyd began writing their own music as teenagers; Ayla notated piano chords in her own musical language while Davyd recorded experimental punk-folk into his computer.
