Asha Illusions EP

Asha Illusions EP

It is singer/songwriter Asha that you ought to have your eyes and ears alert for. Nearing the release of her debut single -Drowning', Asha anticipates the opportunity that will inevitably open up before her in the Australian music scene. 

With acoustic drive, lyric depth and imposing soundscapes, singer/songwriter Asha is making a name for herself beyond her hometown of the Central Coast. 

At the age of 18, she has built up skills far beyond her age musically and lyrically. Asha began to blossom after finding an obsession for the acoustic guitar and spending endless hours teaching herself intricate pieces by artists such as Matt Corby, The Paper Kites, and Ben Howard. The convenience of being able to accompany herself so well has led her to recently be playing many solo gigs and shows in Newcastle and Sydney areas, and score great support slots with the likes of Alex Lloyd and Diesel. 

The debut single -Drowning' was released on 20th January and is a track that captures the emotional memory of a poisonous relationship. Written by Asha herself and produced by ARIA award winning producer Rod McCormack, they together conjured up a sound that fuses her acoustic background and lyric depth with impressive electronic soundscapes. 

She is creating music with sounds reminiscent of Sia, Aurora, & Julia Stone, yet is so unique that you cannot directly pinpoint her to sound like another. 

'This is the music that I want to keep creating. I'd love to keep evolving within this genre. But at the same time I'm not going to limit myself to anything," Asha states. 'Drowning was a song that I wrote and then forgot about. It wasn't even going to make the EP. One day I was reminded of the song, and we ended up recording it and it even superseded the title track of the EP Illusions, as we chose it to be my debut single." 

Film makers, Depth Collective from Brisbane Australia brought -Drowning' to life alongside Asha, with a stellar music video filmed within Asha's hometown of the Central Coast. 

The release of Asha's debut EP Illusions will follow shortly after the release of her single -Drowning', on February 3rd.
