“One of Canberra’s most prolific experimental artists, curators and producers, and relentless advocate for the local independent, DIY and underground music scenes“

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 solo 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 around the globe while also working on sound design for dance/theatre, installation pieces and contemporary chamber composition.

Bucking the traditional record structure, double checks against the corner is a five-part tome weaving a delicately balanced narrative around relationship breakdown, reconciliation and parenthood. Encapsulating what is seen as a hyper-domestic experience, this new set as Shoeb Ahmad explores the nuances that are left behind closed doors or in text threads, bringing together Sia’s experimental sound art practice with the purity of honest pop songwriting and deep, beat-heavy production.

Sia kicks off her run of national record launches with a special, one-off “in the round” live electro-acoustic experience in her hometown, supported by a 5 piece band featuring members of The Jezabels, Screamfeeder and Tangents.
