In a recent TEDx speech at Gitam University, Vizag she shared about that stage in her life when people around her had a strange thought in their mind that a woman doesn’t possess the power to play a flute and its from this stereotype minded people she emerged and flew high into the world of music and glory.
Born in Dubai and raised in United States, both being different dimensions of music and culture. So how this migration affected you?
The move initially was a bit challenging because Dubai to the United States was a huge cultural difference. But when I think about it now, it’s been such an integral aspect in my life because I had the opportunity to witness and learn from so many different cultures and backgrounds in many different ways in both the countries. Somewhere all this has helped shape certain perspectives and more importantly helped me admire the diversity around us.
Being a Chemical engineering graduate, which would have got you a high salaried secured job, you decided to stick with music itself. What gave you that strength to swing your life towards music?
Haha true, although I enjoyed studying to be a chemical engineer, I found myself much more deeply immersed in music. There was this unexplainable feeling of attachment towards it. I experienced a wide range of emotions through it and with it and well, it was magic. I just became focused on discovering more and the path was too beautiful.
