Performances, compositions, and arrangements.
Aap Jaisa Koi
Nazia Hassan
This is my cover of the Hindi song Aap Jaisa Koi by Nazia Hassan, my attempt to sing in my parent's mother tongue. I am a native English speaker with no training in Hindustani Classical or Indian style of singing. I attempted to sing this song to make my parents happy as they really enjoy listening to Hindi songs.
What's the Use of Wondrin'
Shirley Jones (Carousel)
This is my cover of What's the Use of Wondrin' by Shirley Jones from the musical Carousel. As a part of my school's A Capella choir, I sing mainly Alto and Tenor. This song allowed me to explore and experiment with different parts of my voice range.
I'll Know
Jean Simmons & Marlon Brando (Guys and Dolls)
This is my cover of I'll Know by Jean Simmons and Marlon Brando from the musical Guys and Dolls. This was a fun and heartfelt love song that explored an older time period.
Merry Christmas Darling
The Carpenters
This is my cover of Merry Christmas, Darling by the Carpenters. On my choir's Holiday Tour in December 2023, I performed this at multiple destinations across the Bay Area. It is a Christmas love song about longing and distance, representing a holiday love.
What Happens When a Woman Takes Power
This is a very special performance for two reasons — it was a tribute to strong women. While I sang, the AV was playing a profile on my mother and other strong women role models. Secondly, I had to 'open the song and give the pitch and rhythm', which was very special as it was the first time I was getting an opportunity to do so.
Jing-A-Ling, Jing-A-Ling
The Andrews Sisters
This was my show choir's performance at the Santana Row Tree Lighting December 2023. We sang Jing-A-Ling, Jing-A-Ling by the Andrews Sisters, a fun, upbeat number to entertain people of all ages in the holiday season. We perform here annually and it is always a treat to dance under the lights in the holidays.
Karaoke on Darling
Usha Uthup
This is my cover of Darling by Usha Uthup. My parents host a large annual get together on Diwali, the most important festivals for Hindus. It is a very special event and I love doing Karaoke for this wonderful and celebratory Hindi song.
