Lilia Asha is a vibrant and soulful young singer-songwriter living in the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai. Hailing from a mixed British-South African heritage, her touching and earthy melodies are surprisingly deep for a 13-year-old. Her song writing stems from her experiences growing up and the triumphs and doubts that all young people share. Lilia Asha’s prolific lyrics show talent far beyond her age. Born in Malaysia and raised amid the landscapes of Tunisia and Myanmar, Lilia\'s upbringing has been nomadic and colourful. She is a true global citizen with deep respect and understanding for different cultures and diversity. At the age of 6, she discovered her vocal prowess during a rendition of Girl on Fire for her grade 1 talent show. Shortly after that she started with singing lessons and since then she has never looked back: penning her first song, Step Back at just 8 years old and winning the coveted International Category for 8 to12 year-olds at Song Academy’s Young Songwriter Competition. Following this success, she has been building her talent through composing new songs, music lessons, attending summer camps in the UK and regular public performances. Music runs through her veins and is part of her everyday life. From the age of 9, Lilia Asha has developed as a powerful lead singer in various rock bands at Starcle in Shanghai, gaining experience to gradually hone a strong, magnetic stage presence. Beyond her distinct husky vocals, she is developing a sure command of guitar, ukulele, piano and drums. With her mentors at Starcle, she is also involved in exploring the possibilities of digital audio workstations and musical composition. Starcle has been Lilia’s platform for performing, developing and growing into a solo artist in her own right. A day after her 13th birthday, Lilia Asha performed 12 of her original songs at her first solo concert at Starcle. Lilia Asha’s lyrics weave heart-felt stories that echo the depths of young experience. With a voice that captures raw emotion, she has explored themes of growth, loss, fractured friendships, and resilience in the face of adversity. Her compositions are deeply personal yet resonate to young and old alike. With Rae, Lilia has composed a haunting ballad that speaks of yearning against conformity, evoking a poignant sense of longing for the title character’s freedom and personal voice. Her song ‘Ghost House’ was inspired by the death of her grandfather, as well as the resulting gap left in her life and her sense of England as ‘home’. When not making music Lilia Asha enjoys art, especially sketching and spending time in nature. She is an advanced junior scuba diver and she loves exploring coral reefs and interesting marine life. She also loves spending time with her friends and family who are spread around the globe. At school Lilia Asha always participates in the annual musical theatre production and this year she is playing Grace, a lead role in Annie. With her strong spirit and rich complex lyrics, Lilia Asha is emerging as a talented singer of personality and creativity. With the right opportunities, she promises to leave an indelible mark on the tapestry of contemporary music.
