About Me


Astha.

Vocals.Guitar.Songwriting
"An emotionally inspired songstress with a graceful and versatile acoustic sound..."
19 year old singer/songwriter, Astha is an aspiring, young new talent rising in the Toronto Indie music scene. Originating from Nepal, she comes to the table with a unique sound and a charismatic persona.She’s been continuously songwriting since the age of 14. Having written songs like "Hide and Seek" which paints a picture of relationships that come and go, "She’s weak" that describes the vulnerabilities of a growing woman and featuring on "Dear Canada" , a motivational song for the young generation to help overcome the pressures of life, Astha, now, has a growing collection of songs.
Backing her solo performances with her acoustic guitar, she has thus far performed at numerous Toronto music venues such as the Smiling Buddha, the Reverb, Holy Joes, the Horseshoe Tavern, and the Opera House to name a few.Having been compared to artists such as Michelle Branch and Nelly Furtado, her music has the potential of maintaining a very versatile sound. She’s been working with an array of different songwriters and producers and is currently in the process of building material for her first release.Young and driven, she’s decided that music is her only passion and a career in music, her ultimate destination. Astha - the name itself means to have faith, and her faith is in her music.
