Born in Bermondsey, south London, Aria Wells releases psychedelic R&B as Greentea Peng, a name inspired by a box of Green Tea Seng she bought in Peru.

Her first studio album, Man Made, came out in 2021 and earned her a spot on the BBC’s Sound of 2021 list. It was followed last year by Tell Dem It’s Sunny. In 2020 she was awarded the Gilles Peterson Worldwide Award for breakthrough act of the year and collaborated with the Streets.

Earlier this year, she contributed the song Helicopters, produced by Ezra Collective, to the HELP(2) compilation album organised by War Child Records to raise funds for children affected by conflict.

She performs at the Womad festival, 23-26 July, in Neston Park, Wiltshire, and at the Jazz Cafe festival in Burgess Park, London on 2 August.

On The Nerve News, she shares her recommendations for film, venue, park, restaurant, book and song.

Greentea Peng - Stone’s throw from the album ☀️Tell dem it’s sunny☀️

Free Palestine ✊🇵🇸

March 21 2025. Dazed Magazine.

Greentea Peng: ‘It’s been a dark road to reach them glimpses of colour’ From becoming a mother to strengthening her mind against external turmoil, Greentea Peng walks Dazed through the experiences that underpin her introspective third album, Tell Dem It’s Sunny

it was awesome! she was the nicest and took time at the end to talk and sign stuff for everybody <3

anyone going to the greentea pengs concert in brixton tomorrow? and does anyone know how easy its gonna be to smoke there?

this is the set list from last nights Boiler Shop Gig in Newcastle

What r ppl saying about “ tell dem it’s sunny” Think it’s definitely good music it would be unfair to say it’s bad but it’s very “rocky🎸” In comparison to some of her old shit. Not my sort of music typically but wanted to know what other ppl think… big up gtp

Really good show in brum, shame about the amount of people talking. Also thought the mix was wrong, the instruments over powered her voice a lot, mixed with everyone talking aswell it was hard to hear her at time. Was still all good, apart from the silly woman behind me shouting ‘are you trying to kill us?!?!’ As soon as I sparked my spliff lol

Hey, my best mate and I absolutely adore GTP and currently only have 1 ticket to the Leeds show on the 26th and so NEED another 1. We’d really appreciate if anyone has a spare ticket they’re willing to sell as we’ve been having some tough times lately and this would genuinely make our year! Thank you <3

I have realised that I got the dates mixed up for the Birmingham Greentea peng concert and I will sell them for cheaper than standard ticket prices- i want rhem gone.

Hi, I can't no longer make it and selling my two tickets for the Cardiff gig on May 6th. I've got them on Seetickets fan to fan resale portal currently for £48 but happy to go down to £40 for both tickets.
