The India-born, Melbourne-raised artist has crafted a alternative pop sound with room for boisterous bangers and quiet intensity.
Ashwarya has been writing and performing music since she was a pre-teen but it was only last year – a decade after those first open mic nights – that she felt ready to share what she’d been working on with the wider world. Trying to find a way to combine her love for Rihanna, Ke$ha and Queen with her own Indian heritage and the desire to do something unique, it understandably took Ashwarya a while to craft something that felt authentically hers.
Breathtaking debut single ‘Psycho Hole’ was worth the wait. A skulking pop banger delivered over glitching drums, it giddily toyed with tempo and mood. Ashwarya had begun to find a lane all her own in the busy, ever-shifting world of alternative pop.
