Style

Sithu Aye's music can be described as instrumental progressive metal that is focused on lead guitar, influenced by prominent artists of the early djent scene such as Periphery and Animals as Leaders. His style is self-described as 'happy progressive metal',[1] with a more upbeat sound more reminiscent of artists such as CHON, Intervals and Plini. His Senpai EP's also take influence from the Japanese anime music and artwork.

Sithu is a Mayones[2] artist, using their Regius, Setius and Duvell guitar models. He also is a D'Addario artist, using their NYXL strings and Dunlop artist, using Jazz III XL guitar picks.
