A few months ago, we brought you face-to-face with our very own “sangeet ki rani,” Sheena Melwani! She’s become an international icon because of her powerful voice, and a little help of the Internet as well! She’s close to reaching 7 MILLION views on her YouTube page and is still singing and putting out one amazing video after the other!

We recently caught up with Sheena after she performed in Boston during Fashion Week and it went a little something like this…

Sheena, you’ve created quite the stir for all music lovers out there because of your melodic voice and YouTube videos! Unfortunately, there are those poor, sad souls, who have no idea who you are! In one line, tell us who you are and what you do?
Just one line? No pressure, right? Okay, well in one line I’m just a girl who loves to sing and is living her dream of sharing her music with the world.

What triggered the singer inside of you and made you want to pursue singing?
I’ve wanted to sing for as long as I can remember. I’ve been singing since I was a little girl, with my first concert in a preschool musical. Now, more than 20 years later, I am even more passionate about music and can’t really imagine life without it.

How supportive were your family and friends when you said that this is something that you’d consider pursing, even as a career?
My family is amazing and I really cannot ask for any more encouragement from them. I often feel like the family is more excited than even I am about new songs, new events & new videos. This has been a team effort from the very beginning and the support from friends and family is why I am where I am…
