Tash Sultana
I would like to bring attention to Natasha (Tash) Sultana, a singer-songwriter
and multi-instrumentalist from Melbourne, Australia. This 22 year-old artist
started crafting her musical talent at age 3 when she was gifted her
grandfather’s guitar. Now, she can play 18 instruments including the trumpet,
drums, saxophone and flute.
Tash had a breakthrough in 2016 when her live bedroom
recordings on YouTube went viral. This is a link to her first post of “Jungle”
which now has over 17 million views.
I came across Busker Stories, a webseries of short documentaries
that reveals what it’s like to be a street performer - or busker - in
Melbourne, Australia. Here is a link to the inside story of Tash Sultana and
her busking experience:
Lastly, this a link to Tash Sultana’s website that features
her upcoming tours, merchandise and short biography. I enjoyed scrolling through the
concert dates and seeing how many are already sold out.
Tash is a badass powerhouse with an amazing voice and
captivating presence. My boyfriend was the one to show me her video recordings and
I have been a huge fan ever since. We were able to see her live in Seattle last
October as she was wrapping up her tour. Watching her dance around barefoot on
stage while playing various instruments, beat-boxing and singing remains one of
my most favorite concert experiences.
Enjoy!
