AYUSH SHRESTHA:
Has been regularly captivating audiences as a singer songwriter in India and Nepal for more than a year now. His music demonstrates a range of shades and temperaments. The sound boils down to acoustic simplicity, which draws influences from an eclectic range of genres from blues, rock, pop, folk, to classic ballads.
His song writing has been evolving for over 12 years now and is often peppered with a clever play of words. The content is inspired by his own conscious and sub-conscious exposure to day to day stimuli. He had started writing in Nepali, his mother tongue, and then moved to writing more in English after moving to Mumbai to pursue music seriously.
Ayush expresses all this in a passionate yet smoothly controlled vocal rendition, sometimes surprising the audience by little funny things he does with his voice. He takes liberty of having minimalistic music to freely alter the tempo and temperament of his music during live performances.
