It started like any other day at work. Indo-Canadian artist Hanishka Polimera, a software developer, was used to hearing casual remarks about language and accents. But one day, a seemingly offhand comment hit differently:
“Is she from your background? I hope she doesn’t have that thick accent.”
The words lingered. They weren’t just curiosity—they carried hidden judgment, quiet jealousy.
That moment led to Asuya—not just a song, but a reflection of how everyday conversations reveal deeper societal attitudes. With haunting melodies and deeply personal lyrics, Asuya captures the subtle envy that often goes unnoticed, turning real-life experiences into music that sparks conversation.
With over 200,000 views and counting, Asuya is just the beginning of Hanishka’s artistic journey. Her storytelling isn’t just about emotions—it’s about societal observations, dissecting the unsaid truths behind our words and interactions. Blending Telugu roots with global sounds, she creates music that is thought-provoking, deeply resonant, and undeniably fresh.
Her upcoming projects continue this exploration, tackling complex social themes with a fusion of Indian artistry, Western electronic elements, and bold experimental sounds.
This is more than just music—it’s a new way of seeing the world. Listen to Asuya today and be part of the journey.
