If Frank Ocean and Sade had a baby, ASTU would be it. Part retro soul, part nineties R&B pastiche, part New Wave-inspired synth-pop, ASTU’s music refuses to pledge allegiance to a single vibe. The vocalist, songwriter and producer has the ability to find an easy, irresistible groove and turn it into an unhurried banger. A Black, queer and gender expansive artist, ASTU left life as a minister and found themself in R&B, expressing their sexuality, identity and life experience in their music. 

Variance Magazine describes their sound as "...kin to some of Solange’s recent material with the whispering confidence of Kelela..." while Himmat Media raves, "...their unapologetic queerness..transcends the conventional, offering a safe haven where listeners are free to explore their own identities."
