Tash Sultana is an Australian singer and busker, who rose to fame after uploading her content on YouTube and busking on the streets of Melbourne.
Her popularity skyrocketed in 2016, and most of her concerts were sold out. She also gained attention from respected musicians, singing alongside big names, such as Santana.
Her first EP, "Notion", was released in September 2016, under her own label, "Lonely Lands Records".
Rise to fame - 2016 was her "sold out year". With increased popularity on social media sites, most notably with her bedroom acoustic performances, word got around of her unique talent and she started making her own gigs. For 2016, she managed to sold out every single show where she headlined.
Debut - She released her first six-track EP called "Notion" on 23rd of September 2016, under her own independent label, "Lonely Lands Records".
First guitar at 3 - And she never stopped since then. As a small kid, she used to grab anything in the shape of a guitar and play around. That's when her folk noted that, and at 3 she got her first guitar from her grandfather.
Self taught - Since she got such an early start, she had time to learn a lot. She practiced and learned guitar, beatbox, processors, pedals, organ, etc.
Pressure to get a job - After highschool she felt the pressure to get a job but nothing fit. At last she got one at a catering company and in 3 days she just told everyone "where to go". She convinced herself that there should be another way. That's when she decided to start busking.
Original - Everything she plays on the street has been written by her. She says she was influenced mostly by reggae, but got through all stages, from screamo to softer music. Erykah Badu is the one she looks up to the most.
Girlfriend - Tash's girlfriend can be found on Instagram at @bohemian_spirit_collective. She makes hand-wrapped crystals and they often post pictures together.

I don't really have an inspiration, I just take beats from everywhere.
What got me started into music is that when I was young i pikced up anything in the shape of a guitar, I was just drawn to that.
I didn't get a job for ages. I just woke up everyday and not really know what I wanted to do, got really depressed and I got a job. I hated it and I said just neah!, there has to be another way.
Street performing is my favorite thing to do. Like touring and festivals is really awesome but I just love how different all can be. Busking opened up a whole new world for me.
Busking has been a life saver
My favorite artist, 'cause she's a ####### queen is Erykah Badu.
I didn't really have anything online, and that's a whole 'nother entity for you to get on to. It's a whole new virtual platform, and it's just endless. Those videos will never decrease in views, they'll only increase in views and shares. People just pass on your music, and it just keeps going.
A lot of people hear me on the radio and don't actually know how it's put together. I's bringing a live aspect to other people, bringing them into my performance space.
Without the music aspect of my life I'd probably be doing some pretty f...' weird things. It's just the only thing that I understand, and that's the only way to explain it.
Once you pick up one instrument you get the ears for it, and for another. And you can keep going and the sound just becomes familiar. It's never ending, you don't have to stop anywhere. I'll pick up an instrument and play it heaps for a couple of months, then pick up another instrument and play that heaps. I just rotate, but guitar is one that stays the same.
