Safia (band)

Safia is an Australian electronica and indie pop band formed in Canberra. They have released three studio albums.

Safia won the Groovin' the Moo competition in 2012. The band says the name comes from a song they wrote called "Sapphire", but it does not mean anything. The band have since found out that safia means serenity in Arabic.

The band have cited artists like Purity Ring, Major Lazer, Feed Me, Chet Faker, Disclosure and James Blake as influences.

In 2014, they were featured on Peking Duk's ARIA top 10 single, "Take Me Over".

Also in 2014, lead singer Ben Woolner appeared as feature artist on the Indian Summer single "Aged Care" under the pseudonym 'Benjamin Joseph'. The band opened for Twenty One Pilots during their 2017 Emotional Roadshow Tour Pacific Leg which started in Wellington, New Zealand.

On 30 June 2016, the band announced the title of its debut album, Internal, which was released on 9 September 2016 and peaked at number 2 on the ARIA Charts. On 13 October 2017, Safia released "Cellophane Rainbow".

In 2018, they released "Freakin' Out", which was the first track they wrote after their album Internal.

The band released their second album, Story's Start or End in September 2019. The album peaked at number 13 on the ARIA charts.
