Esha Tewari, a 19-year-old indie-folk singer-songwriter based in Australia, began making her presence known in February 2024. In less than a year—on Jan. 30, 2025—she signed with Warner Music in collaboration with Atlantic Records.
Social media has played a pivotal role in Tewari’s rise in popularity. Her song “beautiful boy,” featured on her debut EP I Can, gained traction on Instagram and TikTok, introducing her to a growing audience.
Tewari’s sound draws comparisons to the familiar acoustics of Adrianne Lenker and the vocals of Weyes Blood. Her lyricism echoes the raw emotional weight of Mitski’s Bury Me at Makeout Creek. But make no mistake—Tewari is not merely a mimic of popular styles. Her music carries an unmistakable authenticity, marked by a genuine ability to connect with listeners.
Listening to Tewari is often an introspective experience. Her songs create space for reflection, sometimes unearthing difficult memories, but with a sense of shared understanding that eases the emotional weight.
Her latest EP, Wraith, was released May 1. The title suggests themes of lingering presence—like a ghost from the past. The opening track, “You Were Mine,” was released earlier as a single. Compared to I Can, Wraith shows a notable evolution in production, moving beyond acoustic roots to embrace a broader sonic palette.
Tewari also demonstrates a strong appreciation for her fans. Her YouTube channel features concert footage, fan interactions, and post-show interviews, reflecting the close-knit relationship she shares with her audience.
It’s inspiring to witness young talent like Esha Tewari find success. To stay updated on her music, follow her on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.
