Born in Lower Manhattan (in the Battery Park City neighborhood), Asha Maclean was surrounded by the arts. She lives in one of the most creative cities in the world, but also had a home and school life that fostered her creativity. “My mom is a visual artist,” she explains, “and my dad worked with people who were in the music industry and was an artist himself.” Her parents introduced her to artists like Michael Jackson and Prince, as well as the R&B artists of the ‘90s. “I just loved the sound of the greats,” she says. “They were a huge inspiration for me to start singing.”
At school, Asha was exposed to the arts even more, as her middle school’s curriculum cycled between dance, singing, digital art, and the visual arts. Gravitating the most towards singing and dance, Asha spent her days in her room practicing and ultimately honing her craft. “I was always singing karaoke-style and making up my own dance routines,” she adds. By the time she reached high school, Asha was recording covers and uploading the videos to Instagram. One cover in particular was a game changer. “I was 14, and I posted a video of me singing a Billie Eilish song,” she says, “and that’s when I was discovered.” The cover caught the attention of Grammy-winning producer Charles Farrar, known for his work with Tyrese, Boyz II Men, B2K, and SWV. Now, under his mentorship at VYRUS MEDIA, Asha is stepping into her own as a rising artist with a sound as vibrant and soulful as her roots.
