Tash Sultana has never followed the script. The multi-instrumentalist, engineer, producer, singer-songwriter, and entrepreneur has built an extraordinary career on their own terms, one defined by boundless creativity, relentless determination, and an unshakable connection to their craft.

From their early days busking on Melbourne’s streets to commanding global stages and amassing billions of streams, Tash has forged a career built on innovation, authenticity, and undeniable talent.

The story began with a single spark: a guitar gifted by their grandfather at age three. From that moment, Tash’s world became music. Over the years, they taught themselves to over a dozen instruments, becoming a one-person orchestra whose groundbreaking looping skills would set them apart. Even designing their very own loop station with a small trusted team to take the technical pioneering to a whole new level. By 2016, their first release NOTION EP catapulted them to global stardom amassing millions of streams, gold and multi platinum selling singles for Jungle and Notion along with live bedroom recordings that almost broke the internet. But it was their debut album Flow State that truly introduced the world to an artist with a vision like no other, spawning Platinum singles like Mystik and Gold-certified Murder to the Mind, Salvation, Free Mind, Cigarettes and counting.

In 2021, Tash’s second album, Terra Firma, marked a new era of artistic growth. Debuting at #1 on the ARIA charts, it paired introspection with lush soundscapes, winning accolades like the Rolling Stone Australia Award for Best Single (Pretty Lady). The following year, their MTV Unplugged (Live in Melbourne) album offered fans an intimate glimpse into the artistry of an artist whose work is entirely self-produced, engineered, and mixed at their own Lonely Lands Studio. Tash’s MTV unplugged was the most watched out of any artist in the Aus-pacific region getting picked up by multiple stations and streaming services so over 180 million people.

2023’s SUGAR EP named after trialling medication for their ADHD (artificial happiness) captured yet another layer of Tash’s artistry. It was an experimental project that saw them approach music from a different place than ever before blending soundscapes and heartfelt more upbeat lyricism  in tracks like James Dean and Bitter Lovers featuring BJ The Chicago Kid. Alongside this musical evolution, Tash has expanded their role as a businessperson. Tash is the founder of Lonely Lands Agency, Lonely Lands Studio and recently launched Lonely Lands Liquids and The I Am Me Foundation. Tash has a focus on fostering new projects that reflect their passion for independence and authenticity.

In 2025, Tash Sultana steps boldly into a new era with Return to the Roots—a raw and fearless six-track EP that peels back the layers of fame and expectation to reconnect with the core of their artistry. A decade into their journey, Tash revisits the magic of their early looping days, blending nostalgic spontaneity with hard-earned wisdom. With a sound rooted in live energy and emotional truth, the EP explores themes of mental health, resilience, self-discovery, and the quiet power of authenticity. From stripped-back jams to deeply personal anthems, Return to the Roots isn’t just a reflection—it’s a reclamation. It marks a powerful return to the essence of who Tash is: an artist unbound by genre, pressure, or convention—just pure, unfiltered expression.

With a career spanning over a decade, Tash Sultana’s accomplishments speak volumes: selling out shows at iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre (which sold out in 5 minutes presale), headlining major festivals, selling out global arenas, 15 ARIA nominations, and the 2023 Rolling Stone Global Artist Award. Yet, for Tash, the journey is far from over. With their unwavering drive to push creative boundaries and a focus on building a broader legacy as an entrepreneur and mentor, Tash continues to shape the industry on their own terms.

As Return To The Roots EP marks the beginning of a transformative year, Tash Sultana remains, as always, an artist in motion—creating, evolving, and inspiring a global audience along the way.
