The world’s already fallen for Asha Banks. Whether it was her magnetic turn in Prime Video’s global hit My Fault: London or Netflix’s addictive series A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, she’s been quietly building serious momentum on screen. But long before the cameras, music had her heart.
Asha wrote her first song at just six years old and never really let go of the idea of becoming an artist. Growing up, her playlists were shaped by everyone from Joni Mitchell and Norah Jones to Jack Johnson, Johnny Cash and even AC/DC. Eclectic? Absolutely. But it makes sense when you hear the honesty running through her own sound.
Live, she’s stepping into her moment too. She recently played her biggest headline show to date at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, and earlier this summer supported Noah Kahan at BST Hyde Park. Not a bad way to spend the season.
The industry has been paying attention. Asha recently landed the cover of Rollacoaster’s Autumn/Winter 2025 issue and graced a special digital cover of NOTION, who praised her for opening herself up fully, from acting to releasing her debut EP. She also teamed up with BRIT Award-winning and Ivor Novello Award-nominated Holly Humberstone on fan favourite “Dive”, which soundtracked the credits of My Fault: London. The track picked up love from the likes of DORK and The Line of Best Fit, and the pair delivered a stunning live performance at Queen Caroline’s Temple in Hyde Park that definitely turned heads.
Actress. Singer. Songwriter. Asha Banks isn’t dipping her toe in, she’s diving in properly.
One to watch for 2026? Without a doubt.
