Asha Puthli is a true force of nature.

Her incredible career as a singer, songwriter and actor spans five decades, ten albums, countless guest appearances, as well as being sampled and remixed over the years. It's near impossible to define her artistry – with music spanning pop, rock, soul, funk, disco, jazz and more.

Now 79, Asha is soon to embark on her debut Australian tour. Ahead of the shows, Asha chats to Jazz on Good Fortune about her multi-storied life.
