The Mumbai vocalist discusses her upcoming record, working with American producer Duddy Brown, her future plans and more.
Two years ago, Mumbai vocalist Anushka Jagtiani decided to give up her day job as a journalist and follow her passion by taking up music full time. On making that move Jagtiani says, “Ultimately I just came to a conclusion that I’m happiest when I do a gig, I’m happiest when I write music.”
That’s when the singer started shuffling between her hometown and Los Angeles to connect with producers in the U.S. and work on her style of pop music which brings together a bit of electronica, rock and Indian classical vocal elements.
