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, when performing as
Shoeb Ahmad, as well as collaborative projects.
Once of acclaimed electronic jazz outfit Tangents and an APRA
AMCOS Art Music Award winner, Sia has performed and released a
diverse range of original music throughout Australia, Japan, New
Zealand, Europe and South Eastern Asia while also working on
sound design for dance/theatre, installation pieces and
contemporary chamber composition.
Her new record as Shoeb Ahmad is titled "double checks against the corner" and was released this year on No Gold, the new label launched by Angus Andrew from Liars. A song cycle that weaves a narrative around relationship breakdown, reconciliation and parenthood, "double checks against the corner" brings together Sia's experimental sound art practice with the purity of honest pop songwriting and deep beat heavy production
