About me

Goa, India

I like to call myself a performance artist who uses music is a medium of expression. I am the lyricist and co founder of the women -centric band S*P*A*C*E (Stop Patriarchy & Choose Equality) I also love curating and producing shows and have put together several such theatrical interactions with SPACE. I look foward to new collaborations and love the surprises it brings with itself.

Zindagi Bitani

Zindagi bitani, song against forced arranged marriages & honour killings still prevalent in India. Myself and Ritika Singh, founded a collective SPACE - Stop Patriarchy And Choose Equality. We wrote this song about indian women who are forced into marriages to spend a lifetime with a stranger as an arrangement. With hip-hop beats intercutting, the female rebel voice expresses the inner spirit wanting to be a free bird and fly with choices she can make. We also have Bhoomitra & Niccolo Vacchi as divine masculines sending strength to these women
