Every single time I hear her play she makes me think of nature and being outside, makes me feel like I can do anything...like I'm about to go on an adventure. She's so good---rare---pure bad ass!!!

A minute of silence for those strings.

I fucking love her

In my brook of babbling s..tones.running free there on there own .I've got the hook ,then I throw out a line. and lead with led ,all the time.is in my head.there fed.

I have the same ring as her, I think. I got the Lion of Judah from Ethiopia that looks exactly like that one.

Tash is such an incredibly powerful artist. If you can appreciate that than you're backwards, sorry not sorry.

I went to her concert 2 days ago not knowing anything about her... guess how blown my mind was....

Why is nobody talking about her guitar playing skills? As someone who plays guitar my God.. all I have to say

Is this... what... I don't... understand... How has it taken me this long to find the most interesting person on the planet?

4:08 a fucking bird flies past in the background and she says have you seen the blackbird haha

I have never listened to an artist and it do what is happening to my body, just chills all through out my body! Truly hands down, the best artist I have ever just STUMBLED upon. She is at the TOP of my list to see LIVE. Please come to Indiana or CLOSE, ASAP! Gosh damn!!!!!!!!!

Damn! This girl can play! this is what music should be! raw emotion! you can tell that she puts her all into every song. this chick needs to be famous!

It's even more emotional when you consider that this music literally helped her put herself back together

After witnessing her extraordinary feats with the "looping" electric guitar, this dispels all doubts about her abilities with the acoustic guitar...

this song, played without looping or electronics, unplugged and fully fingerstyle with singing is honestly the best live performance I've seen of anybody

Her music is out of this world. Get chills from every song, and watching her perform is mesmerizing. Can i get some Sultana in stores!!

she’s the coolest human being in the planet, i don’t know a single artist who can make every song they made sound so different every time they play it but somehow make it sound it better then the last time, like if you don’t believe in god, then you must be crazy, because god gave us her, and we must keep her safe ❤️

The moment you thank the internet & life. From the bottom of your heart, She's in simple words a gift to the history of music.

The 327 people that disliked this are the same ones listening to Nikki Minaj and Justin Beiber.

Wow! She's simply amazing.. A 'true' artist painting on her canvas.

She does not play music she IS the MUSIC this her calling

thought I was gonna pass out, damn

She is an unquestionable gift from God. That's all I really know.

This is by far Tash's most spiritual release, in which she really expresses her soul.

I felt like dying. It killt me a thousand times while hearing this and then lightning up my broken soul. I've cried. And screamed. And laughed..so blessed....

it's like matt corby grew his hair out and was lit on absolute fire

Anyone notice the bird flying in the background at 5:45 It has birds approval

After seeing Tash sing with all herself, and to not hold back reminds me of when I just sang for what I felt, to really express the emotion I felt. After Uni, they made us get so technical and I feel that I lost that.

what!!! are you real?! i'm in awe. first time i've heard you. won't be the last

I just realized - being able to sing all the notes/seminotes at every single frequency in a wide range of pitch - thats what singing technically is! PS: High af.

John Butler eat your heart out, urself & John would make an amazing duo!!!

my woman crush😍😍😍

Spirit soaring, far from Earth, glimpse of Heaven, musical birth. Move my soul, in every cell, glimpse of Heaven, cure Hell. This experience opened my third eye!!!

WHY IS THIS SO GOOD WTF

My hair was standing on whole of my body and started sweating as my heartbeat rose and now I'm in tears. Loved this so much!!! =)

Introducing my friends to #tashsultana usually ends with them becoming #enchanted & #cursing me at the same time! They can't get her out of their head! I'm the same. #artist through & through!

Right before she sings “have you seen that black bird?” that black bird flew by (4:08)

I THOUGHT I was heterosexual.... until HER! My GOD she is BEYOND MAGNIFICENT!

Tash. You make the notes just right. You make the heart soar. You make the music what the music will do to the burdened heart, and to the unburdened heart - you set that free, too. Your music sets me free. You are amazing, mate.

Jooooodeeeerrr!!!! Que clase! Me quito el sombrero!!!!!!!

In the vibrant tapestry of contemporary music, few threads shine as brightly and uniquely as that of Tash Sultana. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, this musical prodigy has captured the hearts and ears of millions around the world with a sound that transcends genre boundaries and defies easy categorization. Tash Sultana is not just a musician; they are a one-person band, a master of multiple instruments, and a performer whose live shows are nothing short of mesmerizing. With a career that skyrocketed from busking on the streets to headlining international festivals, Tash Sultana's journey is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and raw talent. A Musical Journey Began Early Born Natasha Sultana on June 15, 1995, Tash's love for music was evident from a very young age. By the time they were three, they had already picked up their first guitar, setting the stage for a lifelong relationship with music. Growing up in a household that encouraged creativity, Tash explored various instruments, gradually mastering over a dozen, including the guitar, trumpet, drums, piano, bass, and even the pan flute. This multifaceted talent allowed Tash to create a sound that is rich, layered, and deeply personal. Tash's teenage years, however, were not without struggle. Battling mental health issues and substance abuse, they turned to music as a form of therapy and self-expression. The guitar, in particular, became a refuge, and it was during this period of introspection and healing that Tash's signature style began to emerge. A blend of psychedelic rock, reggae, blues, and electronica, their music is an auditory journey that reflects the highs and lows of their personal experiences. The Breakthrough: From the Streets to the World Stage Tash's big break came in 2016 with the release of their hit single "Jungle." The song, a powerful testament to their loop-pedal wizardry and soulful voice, quickly went viral, amassing millions of views on RU-vid. What made "Jungle" stand out was not just its infectious rhythm and haunting melody, but the way Tash performed it-alone, surrounded by a labyrinth of instruments and pedals, layering sounds in real-time to create a full-band experience. This innovative approach to music-making became Tash's trademark, setting them apart in an industry often dominated by traditional band setups. Following the success of "Jungle," Tash released the Notion EP, further solidifying their place in the global music scene. The EP was a sonic exploration, with tracks like "Notion" and "Gemini" showcasing their ability to seamlessly blend genres and create an atmosphere that is both intimate and expansive. Tash's music resonated with a wide audience, earning them a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. The Debut Album: Flow State In 2018, Tash Sultana released their highly anticipated debut album, Flow State. The album was a culmination of years of hard work and artistic growth, and it did not disappoint. Flow State is a masterclass in musical storytelling, with each track offering a glimpse into Tash's mind and soul. From the ethereal "Mystik" to the anthemic "Salvation," the album takes listeners on a journey through Tash's inner world, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. One of the standout tracks on the album, "Pink Moon," is a prime example of Tash's ability to create an atmosphere that is both otherworldly and grounded in raw emotion. The song's intricate guitar work, layered with Tash's haunting vocals, creates a soundscape that is both meditative and exhilarating. Flow State was met with widespread acclaim, earning Tash numerous awards and further establishing them as one of the most innovative artists of their generation. A Live Experience Like No Other While Tash's recordings are undeniably powerful, it is in the live setting that their talent truly shines. A Tash Sultana concert is more than just a musical performance; it is an experience, a journey through sound that leaves audiences spellbound. Tash's live shows are a testament to their skill as a multi-instrumentalist and a master of live looping. Each performance is a unique experience, with Tash improvising and reinterpreting their songs on the spot, creating a connection with the audience that is both electric and intimate. What sets Tash apart as a live performer is not just their technical prowess, but their ability to pour their entire being into the music. Watching Tash on stage, one can feel the passion and emotion that drives their performance. It's no wonder that Tash has become a sought-after act at festivals around the world, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Montreux Jazz Festival. The Evolution Continues As Tash Sultana's career continues to evolve, so does their music. In 2021, they released their sophomore album, Terra Firma, a more introspective and mature work that explores themes of self-identity, personal growth, and the human connection to nature. The album's title, which translates to "solid ground," reflects Tash's journey towards finding stability and grounding in their life and music. Tracks like "Greed" and "Pretty Lady" showcase Tash's growth as a songwriter, with lyrics that are both personal and universally relatable. Terra Firma was another critical success, further cementing Tash's place in the pantheon of contemporary music greats. The album's lush production and intricate arrangements highlight Tash's continued evolution as an artist, while still retaining the raw emotion and authenticity that has always been at the core of their music. A Legacy in the Making Tash Sultana is more than just a musician; they are a force of nature, an artist whose work transcends boundaries and speaks to the soul. Their journey from the streets of Melbourne to the world's biggest stages is a testament to the power of music as a tool for healing and self-expression. Tash's ability to create a sound that is both deeply personal and universally resonant has earned them a place among the most influential artists of their generation. As they continue to evolve and push the boundaries of their art, there is no doubt that Tash Sultana's legacy will be one of innovation, passion, and authenticity. In a world where music often feels manufactured and formulaic, Tash stands out as a beacon of creativity and originality, reminding us all of the transformative power of music. The world eagerly awaits the next chapter in the remarkable story of Tash Sultana, knowing that whatever comes next will be nothing short of extraordinary. WWW.CANDIANO.COM
