A graduate of Indian classical dance by age 12, Santhi was already a seasoned performer in Australia, Asia and India. By 13, her passion for various musical instruments and genres, and her sensitivity to life experiences and issues, became evident as she began composing songs on piano and guitar. After three years of undergraduate medicine, Santhi decided to defy the family tradition and forego her studies to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a singer/songwriter and sharing her music with the world. It was this daring decision that landed her in the entertainment capital of the world...London. London revealed a roller coaster of opportunities and experiences for Santhi from musical theatre to television to Bollywood. The highlight was performing and writing with the renowned pioneers of Indian fusion music, JOI, who treated Santhi to the dream of touring around the UK, Europe and India to massive crowds as a singer and dancer. However this was not enough for the songwriter who yearned to get back to the roots of live rock music, which London could not deliver, and share her life experiences through her own acoustic style. So, Santhi returned to Australia, her homeland of live music, to team up with former Sony producer, Simon Tonx. She is currently releasing her debut album titled Sunshower that displays a vast variety of rock genres from a multitude of eras, as well as an element of ethnic fusion. Her song, Sunshower, recently rated in the top 30 of the ninemsn Soundcheck Competition, with over 700 votes. Another song, Just, has been listed on the giant music site, Broadjam in their top 10 lists many times. It has also been selected as one of 10 songs to appear in an upcoming Broadjam podcast. Santhi is currently playing to full-capacity crowds around Sydney with her band of ultra-professional musicians. Most recently, Santhi inspired the Governor of NSW as well as other high officials with an original acoustic set at Government House in aid of Suicide Prevention Australia.
