About Tash Sultana

Tash Sultana emerged from the Melbourne underground scene as a true autodidact, honing their craft through countless hours of solitary practice and intimate live performances. Initially a busker, Tash’s prodigious talent for multi-instrumentalism and looping quickly garnered a fervent following. Their breakout hit, “Jungle,” released independently in 2016, became a global sensation, catapulting them from street corners to international stages. This track, showcasing Tash’s ability to build complex soundscapes layer by layer using an array of instruments and their own voice, became an anthem for a generation.

Their debut studio album, “Flow State” (2018), further solidified their reputation, earning critical acclaim and commercial success. It delved deeper into Tash’s introspective lyrical themes and showcased an even more expansive sonic palette. Subsequent releases, including the album “Terra Firma” (2021), have continued to demonstrate their artistic evolution, exploring new sonic territories while remaining true to their signature blend of soulful melodies and intricate musicianship. Tash is celebrated for their ability to play virtually every instrument on their recordings – guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, saxophone, and more – often performing them all simultaneously during live shows through ingenious looping techniques. This dedication to sonic self-sufficiency makes each performance a unique and spontaneous creation. Notable hits that have soundtracked the careers of countless fans include the aforementioned “Jungle,” the smooth, introspective “Numb,” the infectious groove of “Blackbird,” and the powerful, anthemic “Can’t Buy Happiness.” Tash Sultana’s influence extends beyond their own music, inspiring a new wave of independent artists to embrace creative control and authentic self-expression.
