Guided by their love of harmonic colour within sound; they perceive chord progressions and harmony as vivid colours and experiences, and this premise is what lies at the centre of their creativity. ‘i.d.’ follows a narrative of Asha searching for their identity, a resolve to try and break through metaphorical walls to unearth who was underneath. 

“During our extended lockdowns in 2020, like so many others I decided to actively spend some much over-due time on learning more about my “true” self. I felt as though I had been squashing down or hiding a lot of aspects of myself for my whole life, which had really stopped me from living my life authentically. I felt very surface-level as a person.”

‘Own Worst Enemy’ is a tense exploration of not knowing yourself and battling with your inner critical voice. ‘I Was Always You’ is a joyful celebration of finally stepping into your true self, particularly as a nonbinary person, feeling the release and expanse of their inner self.

The end result is a genre escaping, vivid and explorative two-track EP that is as honest as it is beautiful. An extraordinarily candid experience that touches on the very human adventure of self reflection and acceptance.
