Introducing #165 - Asha Gold
Let us introduce you to Asha Gold, who with two tracks under her belt already - she is back with her third - hitting us with hot melodies and funky rhythms with her new single ‘Debut’. She took a moment to talk to us about her music.
Hey Asha, how are you?
I’m well thank you! Making the most of the London sunshine and so pleased that people have been enjoying Debut over the last week or so.
So your track ‘Debut’ is out now, can you tell us what that track is about?
I wrote Debut during lockdown when I was navigating those slightly scary, unfamiliar feelings that come right at the beginning of a relationship. I think the whole quarantine situation heightened those emotions, and I definitely had a lot of time to think… The song describes my journey from doubting those feelings to embracing them, and letting myself be vulnerable.
What city are you from? What is it famous for?
I’m from London! In my opinion the greatest city in the world… famous for its never-ending list of things to do and see, the melting pot of cultures and languages, and of course its incredible music scene.
Where do you go for musical kicks?
I love small, intimate gigs and showcase nights — I definitely learn a lot from watching other artists perform.
Who are you key musical influences?
My musical influences are pretty varied. I think that’s a positive thing because it helps me maintain a fresh and unique sound. My biggest idols are Beyoncé and Rosalía for their live performance and vocals, and Billie Eilish and Lorde for their enchanting writing. Lots of powerful women!
Now this track is out there, what next for you? Will we see an EP or album coming out soon?
Next up is my EP! I’m so excited to put out a project that I feel is truly reflective of where I am as an artist right now. I want to showcase my skill as both a songwriter and vocalist, and make sure there’s a track on there for any mood. Keep your eyes peeled…
