Asta (musician)

Asta (born Asta Evelyn Binnie-Ireland, 13 January 1996) is a singer-songwriter from Cygnet, Tasmania, Australia.

In 2015, Asta told The Guardian, "I had the best childhood, I was born in this little town called Cygnet, and I was surrounded by music. My parents would make music, just have jams. I was encouraged to start busking as a kid and writing. Tassie is an amazing place to not be influenced by much." Asta added, "I started when I was seven years old. It was a fun, silly thing to do, it wasn't for money, it was basically to build my confidence up. My parents saw that I could sing and they motivated me to get out there. Busking is a good idea because the amount of shows you do is important."

Asta names Destiny's Child, Michael Jackson, Hilary Duff, Bardot, Chaka Khan, Adele and Beyoncé as musical inspiration.
