Tash Sultana, a dynamic multi-instrumentalist from Melbourne, Australia, has made a name for herself with her mesmerising live performances and unique sound. Her music effortlessly blends genres, ranging from indie rock to reggae to electronic, and has garnered a dedicated following around the world.

The "Flow State" tour, named after her debut album, released in 2018, saw Tash Sultana perform at venues across Australia, Europe, and the United States.
