Asta

ASTA is the winner of Triple J's 2012 Unearthed High competition.
I sing, I write, I hum, I tap. I pretty much love all genres of music.
Song writing is a huge part of my life as it releases so much emotion and is actually so fun to do. I love it when the audience feels like a big wide ocean, and they're peacefully sitting there in silence. I love making people feel emotion through song and taking them with me through the journey. I enjoy taking on other peoples stories and creating something universal that other’s can relate to. I hope you get a kick out of my music the way I do !
