Brujx is the brand new solo venture from ex-Muertos vocalist, writer and multi-instrumentalist DeAnna Avis. Pronounced “Brew-hex”, the name derives from the Spanish word “Bruja", meaning “Witch”.

Drawing influences from the likes of Fiona Apple, Julie Ruin (Kathleen Hanna), Bjork, Peaches, PJ Harvey and more, Brujx writes an eclectic array of dark, poetic anthems for outcasts. Her poignant lyrics come straight from the heart and tackle raw issues surrounding mental health and society through lived experience and character study, as well as the mysterious and magical. ‘Mantis’ itself is a glistening electronic statement of intent, with smooth synths and an empowering chorus as well as gothic, dreamlike atmospherics.

Brujx is a survivor, an over-sharer, messy and most of all it’s about being true to one’s self and a refusal to live within the constraints of other people’s perceptions.
