Ishan

Ishan, a 21-year-old Melbourne-based singer-songwriter with a rich tapestry of Indian, Swiss, and Spanish heritage, is set to take the stage at Waywards on Friday, July 12. Born in France and relocating to Australia at a young age, Ishan discovered his passion for music early, picking up a guitar at 7 and venturing into songwriting at 15 while recovering from spinal fusion surgery. His diverse background and exposure to various cultures and languages have profoundly influenced his musical and storytelling prowess.

After honing his skills and building a following through busking and live looping on Melbourne's streets and sharing his performances online, Ishan's debut EP 'The Cycle Of Codependence' released in November 2023, garnered attention from industry tastemakers like Rolling Stone, Triple J Unearthed, and Tonedeaf. 

Since then his social media presence has exploded, with unreleased tracks gaining 18 million views and an audience of 200,000 followers from across the globe. Ishan's latest single, 'My Mouth (la la la)’ marks his biggest release yet, showcasing his evolving artistry.

Don't miss the opportunity to experience Ishan's headline show, where he'll bring his unique blend of storytelling and music to life on stage.
