Anasteisha Swan’s world of feelings

Anasteisha is a Russian singer-songwriter known for her original musical style and introspective songwriting. Raised in Moscow, Anasteisha Swan expressed interest in performing in her early teens. She appeared on the scene for the first time in the 2010s.

For Swan, her feelings and personal story have always been the main sources of inspiration. Her music spans multiple genres, and her narrative songwriting is often inspired by her life. As her approach is deeply intimate, the biggest impetus to create music was love. After numerous projects, Swan found critical and commercial success. And in 2023, she became the winner of the Debut of the Year award. 

Drawing inspiration from various genres like pop, rock, and electronic, her song "I feel" (2022) was well received by the critics. Sometimes she likes to move to synth-pop with an electronic sound. Her other singles are full of elements of rock, embracing urban and retro styles.
