Asha Puthli is an Indian-born singer, songwriter, producer and actress.
Best recognized for her daredevil vocals on the "Science Fiction" album by jazz iconoclast Ornette Coleman, Asha Puthli has recorded ten solo albums for labels like EMI, CBS/Sony, and RCA. She is a 'world music' pioneer and an intrepid cosmopolite.
Her recordings, which span styles like blues, pop, rock, soul, funk, disco, and techno, have been produced by the likes of Del Newman (Elton John, Cat Stevens), and Teo Macero (Miles Davis, Vernon Reid). A quick glance at some of the artists with whom she has recorded, sung or shared the stage is a testament to her eclecticism: Lionel Hampton, Alice Coltrane, Barry White, Dewey Redman, Grace Jones, Charlie Haden, Sonny Rollins, Bill Laswell, Patti Smith, Cy Coleman, Don Cherry, Freddie Hubbard, Duke Ellington, Roy Ayers, Tom Jones, The Rolling Stones, The Pointer Sisters, Ashford & Simpson and Django Reinhardt.
