Tash Sultana, born Taj Hendrix Sultana in 1995, grew up in Melbourne with a guitar in hand from the age of three and learned the trade busking, a one-person band before anybody called it that. They were putting music on Bandcamp from 2013, and in 2016 their videos racked up views on YouTube by the millions.
"Jungle" was the 2016 single that blew the doors open, a sprawling, sun-baked psychedelic jam with a groove that just keeps unfolding, and the Notion EP followed that September, with a sold-out world tour behind it in early 2017. Flow State, in 2018, brought "Mystik", "Murder to the Mind" and "Cigarettes", with soul, funk and psychedelic rock all bleeding into each other, and their spin on MGMT's "Electric Feel" showed they could make someone else's song sound like one of their own.
Terra Firma followed in 2021 with "Pretty Lady". Sultana plays up to fifteen instruments, from guitar and piano to trumpet, saxophone and pan flute, and in 2026 signed a global deal with BMG.
