Twesha Ghosh is a singer-songwriter and poet based in Bangalore, India, blending introspective lyricism with vivid musical textures. Since releasing her debut single "Khoyi" in October 2022 — a hauntingly emotive track exploring themes of detachment and self-reflection — she has steadily carved a space for herself in the Indian indie music scene. Her follow-up single "Jab Soye Ho Tum" (March 2024) and instrumental pieces like "Placebo," "Chaos," and her EP "Autumn Symphonies" showcase a multidimensional artistry rooted in emotional depth and sonic experimentation.

A synesthete, Twesha experiences music in colours — a rare neurological phenomenon that guides her creative process, helping her translate emotional landscapes into melody and mood. This unique perception shapes both her songwriting and her poetic work, making her output richly sensory and unmistakably personal.

Her work has been featured in Rolling Stone India, BeatCurry, and Taaqademy, earning recognition for her evocative songwriting and innovative soundscapes.
