Aayushi is a contemporary folk singer-songwriter from Birmingham, UK, with Indian heritage. She writes strikingly tender songs, delivering them with an intimacy that is often described as the sonic equivalent of a warm hug.

While she draws comparisons to contemporaries like Julia Jacklin and Rachel Sermanni, her earliest musical influences come from the lo-fi, fuzz-folk world of Neutral Milk Hotel, Bright Eyes, and The Microphones.

At 17, she began to self-release music, garnering a global online following. She recently joined the UK New Artist Collective, a cross-disciplinary group of artists with a shared goal to champion creativity and inspire communities across the UK.
