| Tash Sultana |
Tash Sultana, a 19-year-old music sensation
from right here in Melbourne, started playing at the mere age of three.
Tash has been busking for approximately
four years and making music her living as a full time career.
The self taught artist has grown up
teaching herself many instruments including the guitar, the synthesizer, some melodic
and drum pads and she also does beat boxing which has carried her right into
the music scene.
With a fresh approach to music, this upbeat
and passionate musician has written her own songs such as “Pretty Lady” and “Higher”, and will take the country by storm.
Since returning from her trip around Europe
for three months, the folk and reggae inspired star has written some brand new
stuff, including tracks like “Notion” and “Jungle”.
“I have only just got back a few weeks ago
and will be going on tour again as of next week around Australia.
For Tash the future of busking is bright
and vibrant, she says it’s amazing to play in front of so many and for her
music it’s like “an open jam right here in the street”.
Tash busks with her unique music on Bourke
Street around twice a week and for her a crowd of about 200 people is quiet for
her.
Disappearing and reappearing with new and
inspiring music for her fans is what Tash does, “sometimes I’ll play two-three
times a week and other times I’ll just disappear and people will be like ‘where
have you been’ and I’ll come back and be like here I am”, she laughs.
For Tash, 2015 is one of the biggest and
exciting years. She is about to release her third EP album and will journey on
a national tour to engage others in her soulful music.
