Aska Matsumiya
Aska is a LA-based musician who writes beautiful compostitions for films. She is also the front woman for the new LA sensation ESP. ESP's hypnotic flow made bi-coastal live debuts in New York and Los Angeles.

I dress how I want to feel because I am easily influenced by my surroundings. When I perform I often like to feel a bit off the ground. Music that flows without structures, and that makes you feel good and takes you to different places resonates the most for me. No, I'm not on drugs.
