The singer-song writer’s debut record ‘Poetry Ceylon’ is out now via indie label Pagal Haina
GROWING UP IN New Delhi, singer-songwriter Aditi Veena aka Ditty tells us she had a “beautiful childhood.” She recalls, “My parents loved the outdoors, and my mum threw us into art and sports at a very young age. My dad and my little brother and I spent Sundays doing science experiments and going out for picnics.” The vocalist-guitarist, who came across music by chance in school, is now out with her debut eight-track album, Poetry Ceylon, an ode to the island of Sri Lanka via New Delhi indie label Pagal Haina.
Ditty has spent the last few years in Sri Lanka working as a conservation architect and mentions that her work had a profound impact on the way she lived her life and approached her art. “I was extremely inspired by the island, and it’s eclectic people. The album is an account of my time there that I spilled out of myself as I played my guitar every night in my bedroom.”
