Hello, I am an Indian classical vocalist who loves to experiment and sing in different musical genres both native to the Indian sub-continent such as Hindustani folk, sufi, thumri, ghazal as well as world folk music, blues, western classical, a cappella and opera.
I started singing at the age of 6 to everyone’s surprise. Later, I received some formal training in Indian classical music from the Jaipur Gharana (one of the many Indian classical traditional schools of music). I won many state-level and national-level music competitions and received some scholarships and residencies over the years. I had the honor to learn Dhrupad (oldest known form of classical music) singing and technique for a year under the guidance of Padmashree Ustad Wasifuddin Dagar.
I have performed and shared the stage with many artists internationally from the Bahamas to Denmark to Belgium. Out of passion, I also like to conduct vocal music workshops every now and then and share the enormous bank of folk, sufi and ghazal music that I have with people from different cultures. I have been an active participant at the Ethno music camps and various other artist exchanges in Europe.
