A Telugu Girl’s Experience in International Waters – The Story Behind Asuya

Have you ever heard a single comment that changed the way you felt about everything? It all started in a busy Toronto office, where the Indo-Canadian, singer-songwriter, Hanishka worked as a software developer. Her colleague, from a different background, often said, "People from my country may speak English well or poorly, but others always have an accent. English will never fully belong to them.”

Hanishka ignored it—until one day, when she casually mentioned that this colleague reminded her of a close friend. "Is she from your background? I hope she doesn’t have that thick accent." This wasn’t just an observation—it was a masked superiority complex, fueled by jealousy.

That moment sparked Asuya—not just a song, but a reflection of hidden envy. With soft melodies and deep lyrics, it captures how small words can trigger big emotions. "Asuya" is Hanishka Polimera’s very first debut single, marking the start of her journey as an artist. Even though it is her first song, it shows a clear, heartfelt style. Hanishka draws inspiration from real-life moments, making her music relatable and honest. With "Asuya," she promises to continue sharing the hidden stories behind everyday words and emotions.

Listen to Asuya now and let it transport you to a moment when someone's words lingered in your mind. The YouTube video has already surpassed 200,000 views! Her upcoming projects continue to explore societal observations, blending deep, thought-provoking themes with a groovy, energetic vibe. Her vision fuses intense meaning with Indian roots, rich Telugu artistry, Western electronic beats, and global instrumentation—creating a sound that resonates across cultures. We’d love for you to join her on this exciting musical adventure ! And also please let us know what you think about the song.
