During the first lockdown in 2021, she unexpectedly appeared on social media feeds all over the country with her pastel-hued, mellow-sounding single Be alright. She attracted attention with her aesthetically pleasing social media feed and her upbeat, head-bopping songwriting.
The 24-year-old was hand-picked with Ritviz for Levi’s Indian edition of its music enablement project and is one of the most-listened to female independent artists in 2021 on Spotify as a solo artist.
