Inspirations: The rhythm of the beats in Punjabi music, the rich culture of Punjab, the warmhearted Punjabis and their hospitality, the colors, the food, the stunning Punjabi women with their beautiful clothes and jewelries, the legendary love stories of Punjab, the respect for elderly people, the Mela’s and getting to know about so many different religions and values – including all the rituals and ceremonies I have experienced while living more than four years in Punjab. The legendary Gurdas Mann and Surinder Kaur are great inspirations.
Tell us a bit about yourself?
I am born and raised in Denmark, just outside Copenhagen, and became deeply inspired by my dad’s singing and playing the guitar. So from 7 and onwards I sang in the school chorus and quickly realized that my passion in life was singing. I joined the Girl’s chorus of Radio Denmark from I was 13 years old and, had years of classical singing training and began singing professionally from 15 onwards. In London I got my formal education from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, graduated in 2001 with a musical theatre degree. My singing career has taken me around the world and I love being able to live out my dream.
