ASHA

Artists I've Worked With

Role: Musical Director/Drummer/Programmer

I was brought in by ASHA’s management to be the Musical Director (MD) for ASHA as she was about to begin her journey, performing live with a band. For the first phase of ASHA’s live show, management wanted to go for drums (electronic/pads) and keys to start with. I set up an audition of various musicians with different backgrounds and management and ASHA decided who the felt would work best.

ASHA’s music is quite Urban and also, “produced” and management want to keep the the footprint of the band small and keep the sound of the songs very true to the record as we’d be doing a few showcases where it would be important for the songs to sound like the records.

I also worked with the keys player to recreate the sounds on the record and decided which parts for him to play live and which parts to leave on track.

As there is only 2 of us in the band, it was necessary to have backing tracks. I spent a lot of time going through parts and mixing it for live, getting a consistent and uniform sound for the whole set.
