Aino Elina creates ethereal indie electro pop to bounce and float along to. Based in Edinburgh, the Finnish-born singer-songwriter blends luminous synth pop with ethno/world music influences from her native Lapland. Singing in both Finnish and English, she crafts a magnetic fusion of Nordic culture with a Scottish twist.
Her live sets combine ethereal vocals, electronic beats, and stripped-back electro-pop arrangements — combining traditional song-writing with improvisation and looping.
Aino Elina’s discography includes her debut EP Unissa (2018) and the 2025 LP Kite / Thinning Ice, which received praise on BBC Radio Scotland, where she featured on the Introducing show, the Upload show and also on the Afternoon Show - highlighted as a Single of the Week. Her tracks have landed on Spotify editorial playlists, earned national airplay in Finland and Scotland, and continue to be supported by Amazing Radio and indie music blogs.
Since her debut, she’s played stages across Edinburgh and beyond, appearing at international showcases and festivals such as Kansai Music Conference (Japan), IMX (China), Kelburn Garden Party (UK), Eden Festival (UK), Art Goes Kapakka (FI), and more.
