Concert & Buffet #69 - AHSIA

About AHSIA:

AHSIA (pronounced uh-SIGH-uh) is a Philadelphia-born, Vancouver-raised singer-songwriter and emcee whose signature sound, “Soul-Hop,” blends neo-soul and hip-hop. Deeply influenced by ’90s and 2000s culture, her creative world also incorporates musical theatre, comedic storytelling, and magnetic charisma.

AHSIA earned a 2025 Western Canadian Music Award nomination for Best R&B Artist and won Unsigned BC's Best Song of the Summer in 2024. She also opened for Sarah McLachlan's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy Tour and has surpassed one million streams across platforms.

For her Shelf session, AHSIA brings her genre-blending Soul-Hop into an intimate listening room, joined by a large ensemble of musicians and backing vocalists. Expect a session shaped by neo-soul, hip-hop, and the personality that defines her music.

About The Shelf Concert:

Inspired by NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, we bring raw, stripped-down performances to Vancouver — but with our own after-hours twist. On Wednesday nights, Hestia closes its doors to the public and transforms into a private listening room for just 60 guests. No blasting speakers, no artificial mixing — just pure, direct sound. Artists self-mix in the moment, adjusting to the space and the energy of the room. And since each concert is recorded live, the audience isn’t just watching — they’re part of the final cut. Every cheer, clap, and moment of silence is captured by the microphones forever.

Your ticket includes:

✔️ Exclusive access to the session — An intimate, after-hours concert in the closed restaurant space at Hestia.

✔️ A late-night buffet — Curated by HESTIA to make the night feel even more special.

✔️ A role in the recording – Your energy, your reactions, your moment.

How It Works

• The concert is structured into three short sets (three songs each), with two 5-minute breaks in between.

• Natural emotional reactions (clapping, cheering, vibing, etc.) are encouraged!

• During performances, we ask for minimal disruptive noise — think of it like being in a live recording session. Because it is!

• Breaks are off the record — the perfect time to chat, enjoy the buffet, or grab another drink.

• Some artists may extend their set or play an encore if the vibe feels right — show your love and you might just get more!

Limited to 60 spots. Every session is unique and will not appear again.
