His quiet, reflective songs span three albums from 2009 to 2020.
For a sense of his range, try "Meus passos" and "Collide." They frame his mix of languages and that steady, reflective tone.
Ayres writes plainly about personal themes, often in Portuguese, which gives his work a distinct, unflashy texture. Songs like "Meus passos" and "All I Am" feel lived-in, not polished. He's collaborated with Alison Moyet and the London Contemporary Orchestra, but the music stays grounded.
He started with the single "Collide" in 2007, then released albums in 2009, 2014, and 2020. In 2012, he canceled shows and later spoke about mental health. His band included Adam Gilmour on guitar, Danny Freemantle on bass, and Mike Rowe on drums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
