One of Australia’s most prolific sound explorers, Sia Ahmad works as both a singer/composer and improviser—combining both electronic and acoustic approaches to song-making. Whenever I see her perform, I gain a newfound understanding of her capabilities. Each performance is a singular creation.
— Angus Andrew
With a rich and extensive background in Australian music, Sia Ahmad has been creating idiosyncratic sounds over the last decade and more. Using guitar, keyboard, voice and electronics, she works both as singer/composer and improviser, performing solo (as Shoeb Ahmad) and in collaborative projects.
Ahmad has released a diverse range of original music while also working on sound design for dance/theatre, installation pieces and contemporary chamber composition, inspired by 20th-century avant-classical works, Indian raga form and minimalist electronic music.
She has released a diverse range of solo music, most notably the indie-soul collection "quiver" and the dark electronic twinset of A Body Full Of Tears and Facade (released in early October 2021 on the Provenance Collective label).
Throughout her career, Sia Ahmad has performed throughout Australia, Japan, New Zealand, the UK and SE Asia, both solo and with acclaimed groups such as Sensaround, Spartak, Tangents and the Australian Art Orchestra.
