Nasya (New Delhi): Nasya is a fusion
rock band based in Delhi. Playing a blend of Sufi, Haryanvi
and Punjabi Folk and rock influences, they are not your
typical fusion band. Their sound is distinctly characteristic,
finely balancing traditional Hindustani vocals with western
elements of jazz, blues and rock music. The
name Nasya comes from a Hebrew word meaning “A miracle
of God”. And it is indeed quite a miracle that a
few talented and skilled individuals from extremely diverse
musical backgrounds could come together and in a very
short while realize their dream to create and play rousing
music while transcending boundaries of influences, genres
and stereotypes. After winning several rock band competitions
across Delhi like Jamia Hamdard, PGDAV, Dyal Singh and
CVS to name a few, Nasya headlined at colleges like Miranda
House and Lady Irwin College in 2009. The hysteria of
2009 paled in comparison with the euphoria of 2010. With
corporate shows at Canon and Green Peace and guest performances
alongside artistes like Shibani Kashyap and Manak-E. But
the best was yet to come in the form of MTV Rock On Season
2 which expanded the band’s audience all over the
country. After their hugely memorable performance at MTV
Rock On, Nasya returned home armed with new fans and new
members to kick start their 2011 campaign. Combined with
great performances alongside the likes of Pakistani group
JAL and guest performances at colleges like College of
Business Studies, Jamia Milia Islamia, Dyal Singh College,
Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce, NC College
of Engineering, ANDC College and many more, 2011 has been
a roller coaster ride for the band and their well wishers.
With an Album release in 2012, we believe that the best
of Nasya is yet to come. |
