Tell us about Maharani

My upcoming single Maharani talks about believing in oneself. It is a very female centric song and goddess Durga is the perfect representation of woman power to me. Hence, this will be the apt time for my upcoming single to see the light. It is a really fun track.

You are a trained classical singer, but your professional genre is pretty different. How did the shift happen?

It’s not a shift per se as I have grown up listening to a lot of Western genres, even though I have trained in Hindustani Classical. I have grown up listening to a spectrum of music thanks to my grandparents and their record player. Even in my professional career I have sung a lot of tunes which have an overpowering Indian touch and I enjoy all of it. My compositions however can preferably be categorised as pop.
