Any EP ( extended play ) or a single on the anvil ?
Not as of now , but I hope to dip my toes a little deeper into the independent musical shores in the near future .
Why do you think there is a dearth of female composers in the music industry barring a few like Sneha Khanwalkar , Jasleen Kaur Royal or the erstwhile Usha Khanna ? Would you ever like to compose a note or two yourself ?
I ’ ve never considered myself a composer . I ’ ve written a few songs casually here and there , but those are my private thoughts penned at leisure . They are exclusively mine and not for sale . I can hum a few stanzas for my own gratification and solace in a lone corner but won ’ t really look to broadcast them over the mike . See I thoroughly enjoy the process of creating , but in my public life , singing will always remain my principal priority . I ’ m not sure “ why ” there is a dearth of female tunesmiths in the tinselville , but I can clearly figure out a voluminous emergence of more and more female technicians and behind-the-scene craftswomen , etc . in showbiz currently than ever before , which is indeed a positive sign and a step in forward direction !
Again there is a resurgence of remakes of golden oldies or yesteryear hits . How challenging is it for today ’ s singers to do justice to such songs , yet deliver a fresh feel with their contemporary twists ?
This is something I deal with regularly , as I ’ m known for a lot of covers I do for the YouTube , where I too must execute an already existing song with much integrity and yet add my own verve and freshness to its present-day version . It is definitely a challenge , but audiences are open to hearing new interpretations of songs they love . It ’ s why our YouTube covers get so many views , hits and likes . So , it is definitely possible to strike the right balance between staying true to the original as well as adding your own spin to it .
What would be your future plan of action ? Is Hollywood / international indie music scene calling ?
By Jove , I want to do it all ! Taking it step by step though . While for now , I ’ m just about getting started in Bollywood . Slow and steady wins the race — doesn ’ t the sagacious saying go that way ?
You don ’ t have a typical sugary sweet voice but a new age one for sure . Is that a blessing in disguise for you to stand out of the crowd ?
I think finding your own unique sound is extremely crucial for singers . I am delighted , my voice isn ’ t considered ‘ stereotypical ’ — precisely that would be the last adjective I ’ d wish to associate myself with !
Do you follow or incorporate any particular singer ’ s style in your rendition ? Who is your favorite international artiste and what quality attracts you to him / her ?
I ’ m sure I subconsciously incorporate the style of several singers who I ’ ve grown up listening to . I try to learn from everyone I listen to . One of my all-time favourites has been the sensational soul / popstar Beyonce Knowles . She ’ s an amazing all-round performer and a musical trendsetter in her own right .

Any EP (extended play) or a single on the anvil?
Not as of now, but I hope to dip my toes a little deeper into the
independent musical shores in the near future.

I’ve never considered myself a composer. I’ve written a few
songs casually here and there, but those are my private
thoughts penned at leisure. They are exclusively mine and not
for sale. I can hum a few stanzas for my own gratification and
solace in a lone corner but won’t really look to broadcast them
over the mike. See I thoroughly enjoy the process of creating,
but in my public life, singing will always remain my principal
priority. I’m not sure “why” there is a dearth of female
tunesmiths in the tinselville, but I can clearly figure out a
