Asuya: A Song Born from a Moment That Lingered

Some words pass like whispers, others stay and shape us. Hanishka Polimera, and Indo-Canadian singer never expected a casual conversation at her Toronto workplace to spark her first song. A colleague’s comment—"English will never truly belong to those with accents"—seemed harmless at first. But when the same colleague later said, "Is she from your background? I hope she doesn’t have that thick accent," Hanishka saw the deeper undertones—superiority wrapped in subtle jealousy.

From that moment, Asuya was born. It’s more than a melody; it’s an emotion—a mirror reflecting the hidden envy that often goes unnoticed. With a soul-stirring composition and deeply personal lyrics, Hanishka introduces herself as an artist who gives voice to the unspoken.

Now with over 200,000 views on YouTube, Asuya is only the beginning. Hanishka is crafting a soundscape where Telugu tradition meets modern beats, where raw stories transform into music that resonates worldwide.

Listen to Asuya and feel the weight of the words that linger. What does the song bring to your mind?
