Asta Binnie-Ireland grew up in Cygnet, a small Tasmanian town where music was simply what the family did: her parents jammed at home, and she was out busking by age seven, less for the coins than to build her nerve. All those street-corner sets gave her something plenty of laptop-pop hopefuls never get, a feel for winning over people who weren't there to see her.
Her reference points are refreshingly unembarrassed. She'll name Destiny's Child, Michael Jackson, Chaka Khan, Beyoncé and Adele in the same breath as Hilary Duff and Bardot, and you can hear that mix in her indie pop, which swaps the genre's usual mumble for full-throated diva ambition. "My Heart Is on Fire" put her on the countdowns in 2012, and "Dynamite" brought her back in 2015, a bigger, brighter blast from a singer who clearly learned early that you have to grab the room before it walks past.
