EXPERIENCE

ACFFA282-4294-4E67-9651-F07DE378587D_edited.jpg

A recent graduate from Berklee College of Music with a degree in songwriting and music business. Pursuing opportunities in music sync and supervision, as well as PR and tour press, management, A&R, and music journalism. Fusion singer-songwriter who believes in using songwriting as a cathartic release to express herself, and to spread awareness about important issues. Aims to use music as a medium to shed light and appreciation on South Asian art and culture, and build a community of globally-conscious and open-minded people.

 

With proven leadership credentials, passionate volunteering experience, and strong academics, I am seeking learning/working experiences that provide a better understanding of the creative and/or business sides of the music industry. I would like to use my cultural breadth, global exposure and passion for music to improve and positively impact those around me and beyond.
