Easha

EASHA is an 18 year old New Jersey based artist now living in Nashville, Tennessee. She was a finalist at the World Cafe Live Yearly Showcase in Philadelphia, performs at local festivals, and is set to perform an early show at the Bluebird Cafe. In Nashville, she regularly co-writes and works with Grammy winning songwriter Liz Rose (who writes songs for Taylor Swift, Little Big Town etc.).
Her original work has been featured on The Atlantic, Yahoo!, Music Inc. Magazine, the Trentonian etc. Ultimately, giving back is as important as recognition to Easha. In her school orchestra, she composed music and lyrics for two UNICEF tributes (“A Better Day” and “Waves”) that she performed on an international charity tour. The songs were so well-received that the CEO of UNICEF herself praised the “skill” and “passion exhibited.” Finally, EASHA is the Grand Prize winner of the National Lionsgate Cover Competition.
EASHA’s music is like if Norah Jones married John Mayer, surprising the audience with an Indian Classical Music background. Outside of her singing/songwriting, EASHA enjoys triathlons and business --- she placed 11th in the world at the 2019 World Championships of Triathlon in Switzerland and will be attending Stanford University.

“[Easha] had turned the text of the call into, appropriately enough... a love song. A ballad, to be specific. An incredibly emo affair that captures, perfectly if totally ironically, the pathos of the Comcast call: the confusion, the conversion of love into loss, the bafflement that a relationship that was so strong for so many years could, indeed, come to an end.”

“Easha is passionate about music. She breathes, sleeps, and dreams about music. Not only does she have a beautiful singing voice but she is also a talented classical musician who is viewed as a leader... Furthermore, Easha’s love for music has allowed her to connect with Grammy award winning songwriter Liz Rose -- whom she meets with in Nashville, once every three months.”
