Sia Ahmad

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, a APRA AMCOS Art Music Award winner and Peggy Glanville-Hicks Address lecturer, 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. In 2023, Sia performed at Mona Foma, travelled to SXSW in Austin, Texas with the support of artsACT and released "double checks against the corner", her newest record as Shoeb Ahmad.
