This song breaks my heart every time I listen to it, last march I lost my partner and in September our little girl died from leukemia, life just isn't worth it anymore, while this song opens my soul and brings me peace it also kills me a little more each day. I love you Megan and Fraya, I always will 😔

Her technical understanding of Music as a whole is just sensational and breathtaking . From her voice to her guitar playing to the beats and foot pedal management, it’s like she’s bewitchingly manipulating the notes and beats to swear allegiance to her. And just to have a cherry on top, she has the talent and skillset to juggle all of this at once, it’s simply phenomenal!

[stinaxoxo]

[Tash-aah]

I cannot understand a single damn word she says but the passion, the music, the beat hypnotizes and woos me into oblivion.

[hannahfairchild]

I hear the birds
When they're singing
I hear the sirens when they're ringing
But I can't take my mind off of you
A thousand words, pouring out
The distance of over there
Is moving on and out
You said it, you said it'd be alright
How 'bout these notions
Hmm, they're deep as ocean
Calling out my name
Screaming out in vain
Singing hallelujah
Tell your mother, she don't understand
Tell your mother, she's not listening
Why don't you tear my heart
The chain is made of string
I roll the dice
You seal the deal
That don't matter
'Cause this pain will heal
I will follow you
Into the dark
How 'bout these notions
Hmm, they're deep as ocean
Calling out my name
Screaming out in vain
Singing hallelujah
These notions
Hmm, they're deep as ocean
Calling out my name
Screaming out in vain
Singing hallelujah
Singing hallelujah to you
Calling out my name
I'm in the deep end, ocean
Calling out my name
Singing hallelujah to you

[jamescoates]

I reconnected with my first wife recently. We are both music enthusiasts. She remembered who passionate i used to be with my guitar. She asked if i had heard of tash. And said look her up and listen to notion. I have no words. She is beyond anything i expected or even thought of. She touched me with one song. John Butler and Andy McKee were the only ones to do that, until tash. Keep the spark, you are someone i have never seen before.

[nesscruz]

To me, all of you are brothers and sisters by the bond of listening and love to this song.

[sheapila]

I love it when she switches shit up every time she sings live...it keeps me on my toes..I never know how she's gonna play it, and I fucken love that about Tash. True artist. 🤘🤙☮️🔥

[eqoxujb]

Well I hope all gets through all the days God gives us.
This is heaven and even with the ups and downs life is short and we should be so grateful when we can to the best of our collective ability.
Believe me do not stop fighting with a smile while you live and breath, life on this planet❤

[ReferenceMachinist]

Funny, I somehow just knew, on instinct, that Tash sang, played the guitar, and wrote the music. Her music just transcends, from her soul into ours! True artistry, first time I ever heard this song, I just felt that connection, and how it reached out to me when I needed to feel the magic again. Tash Sultana is nothing short of magic, and when people tell me that magic is not real, I’ll just gesture to the skies and the sea, for the universe is magic incarnate. And artists like Tash who reach out to touch the soul, reminding us that the magic is real ❤

[boxingalllevels]

when you are heartbroken and you listen her music takes you deep to a place of acceptance, her music takes me to a place were you know is dark but somehow gives you peace, taking day by day, it feels hope, thank you for your music.

In the vibrant tapestry of contemporary music, few threads shine as brightly and uniquely as that of Tash Sultana. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, this musical prodigy has captured the hearts and ears of millions around the world with a sound that transcends genre boundaries and defies easy categorization. Tash Sultana is not just a musician; they are a one-person band, a master of multiple instruments, and a performer whose live shows are nothing short of mesmerizing. With a career that skyrocketed from busking on the streets to headlining international festivals, Tash Sultana's journey is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and raw talent.
A Musical Journey Began Early
Born Natasha Sultana on June 15, 1995, Tash's love for music was evident from a very young age. By the time they were three, they had already picked up their first guitar, setting the stage for a lifelong relationship with music. Growing up in a household that encouraged creativity, Tash explored various instruments, gradually mastering over a dozen, including the guitar, trumpet, drums, piano, bass, and even the pan flute. This multifaceted talent allowed Tash to create a sound that is rich, layered, and deeply personal.
Tash's teenage years, however, were not without struggle. Battling mental health issues and substance abuse, they turned to music as a form of therapy and self-expression. The guitar, in particular, became a refuge, and it was during this period of introspection and healing that Tash's signature style began to emerge. A blend of psychedelic rock, reggae, blues, and electronica, their music is an auditory journey that reflects the highs and lows of their personal experiences.
The Breakthrough: From the Streets to the World Stage
Tash's big break came in 2016 with the release of their hit single "Jungle." The song, a powerful testament to their loop-pedal wizardry and soulful voice, quickly went viral, amassing millions of views on YouTube. What made "Jungle" stand out was not just its infectious rhythm and haunting melody, but the way Tash performed it—alone, surrounded by a labyrinth of instruments and pedals, layering sounds in real-time to create a full-band experience. This innovative approach to music-making became Tash's trademark, setting them apart in an industry often dominated by traditional band setups.
Following the success of "Jungle, " Tash released the Notion EP, further solidifying their place in the global music scene. The EP was a sonic exploration, with tracks like "Notion" and "Gemini" showcasing their ability to seamlessly blend genres and create an atmosphere that is both intimate and expansive. Tash's music resonated with a wide audience, earning them a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim.
The Debut Album: Flow State
In 2018, Tash Sultana released their highly anticipated debut album, Flow State. The album was a culmination of years of hard work and artistic growth, and it did not disappoint. Flow State is a masterclass in musical storytelling, with each track offering a glimpse into Tash's mind and soul. From the ethereal "Mystik" to the anthemic "Salvation, " the album takes listeners on a journey through Tash's inner world, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.
One of the standout tracks on the album, "Pink Moon, " is a prime example of Tash's ability to create an atmosphere that is both otherworldly and grounded in raw emotion. The song's intricate guitar work, layered with Tash's haunting vocals, creates a soundscape that is both meditative and exhilarating. Flow State was met with widespread acclaim, earning Tash numerous awards and further establishing them as one of the most innovative artists of their generation.
A Live Experience Like No Other
While Tash's recordings are undeniably powerful, it is in the live setting that their talent truly shines. A Tash Sultana concert is more than just a musical performance; it is an experience, a journey through sound that leaves audiences spellbound. Tash's live shows are a testament to their skill as a multi-instrumentalist and a master of live looping. Each performance is a unique experience, with Tash improvising and reinterpreting their songs on the spot, creating a connection with the audience that is both electric and intimate.
What sets Tash apart as a live performer is not just their technical prowess, but their ability to pour their entire being into the music. Watching Tash on stage, one can feel the passion and emotion that drives their performance. It's no wonder that Tash has become a sought-after act at festivals around the world, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Montreux Jazz Festival.
The Evolution Continues
As Tash Sultana's career continues to evolve, so does their music. In 2021, they released their sophomore album, Terra Firma, a more introspective and mature work that explores themes of self-identity, personal growth, and the human connection to nature. The album's title, which translates to "solid ground, " reflects Tash's journey towards finding stability and grounding in their life and music. Tracks like "Greed" and "Pretty Lady" showcase Tash's growth as a songwriter, with lyrics that are both personal and universally relatable.
Terra Firma was another critical success, further cementing Tash's place in the pantheon of contemporary music greats. The album's lush production and intricate arrangements highlight Tash's continued evolution as an artist, while still retaining the raw emotion and authenticity that has always been at the core of their music.
A Legacy in the Making
Tash Sultana is more than just a musician; they are a force of nature, an artist whose work transcends boundaries and speaks to the soul. Their journey from the streets of Melbourne to the world's biggest stages is a testament to the power of music as a tool for healing and self-expression. Tash's ability to create a sound that is both deeply personal and universally resonant has earned them a place among the most influential artists of their generation.
As they continue to evolve and push the boundaries of their art, there is no doubt that Tash Sultana's legacy will be one of innovation, passion, and authenticity. In a world where music often feels manufactured and formulaic, Tash stands out as a beacon of creativity and originality, reminding us all of the transformative power of music.
