A new documentary focusing on Tash Sultana’s origins as a busker to her sell-out shows worldwide has just been released on YouTube.
For a few years now, Tash Sultana’s profile has been growing rapidly. Going from rising Aussie musician to an international superstar that sells out shows almost instantly, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t recognise Tash’s music.
But have you ever wondered how it all started? Have you ever wondered how Tash Sultana went from busking on Melbourne’s Bourke Street Mall to selling out Zurich’s Samsung Hall? Well, now there’s a documentary to help shine a light on those early days.
Titled The Story So Far, this three-part documentary aims to look at how Tash Sultana went from her humble origins to that of an internationally-renowned musician.
Kicking things off with a YouTube channel in 2011, a number of ‘bedroom recordings’ were posted online, with early versions of tunes like ‘Jungle’ and ‘Higher’ going viral and gaining a cult following in the process.
“If you were wondering how it all goes in the Tash Sultana world, here it is,” the iconic artist explains.
