Hailed as the ‘Breakthrough Artist’ of last years Byron Bay Bluesfest, ROSHANI is a star- on-the-rise.
Born into a musical family in Sri Lanka, at 6 weeks of age she was adopted and grew up in Tamworth, where she had the opportunity to nurture her gift.
She developed her one-woman show while living in her van, busking on the streets and travelling wherever the wind took her.
A genre blurring artist ROSHANI moves seamlessly between blues powerhouse, soul drenched torch singer, folk balladeer to electro house diva.
She builds her sounds using a range of foot pedals, loop stations, guitars, foot percussion, synths, harmonica and lush harmonies to create a truly unique musical experience.
With a voice that gives you goosebumps ROSHANI weaves story and song to uplift the soul.
Her amazing life story was featured on 60 Minutes Australia and has had over 10 million views worldwide.
