My musical journey has taken me from the bright lights of Hollywood to the sacred sounds of healing and mantra.
While living in California for three transformative years, I had the incredible opportunity to pursue my passion for songwriting and singing. During that time, I won several songwriting awards and landed song placements in major films and hit TV shows — including Cheaper by the Dozen, Dawson’s Creek, Party of Five, and Summerland, to name just a few.
My debut pop album, “Miserably Happy,” was born out of my Los Angeles experience — a personal collection of songs that reflect love, loss, and the lessons of my journey. When it was finally released, the album resonated widely, with several tracks finding their way into popular Hollywood productions.
My India travels was a big self-discovery time for me, which lead me to Healing music, discover mantras and it enabled me to dig deeper vocally, discover mantras and emotionally and to add it to my pop/Jazz repertoire …I believe it made me a better singer
