Arts administrator, singer-songwriter, writes grants. Helps music creators learn how to take control of their intellectual property and how to find resources.

Songwriting influences: being a child of Sri Lankan Civil War (read: govt-sanctioned genocide) refugees/post-colonial analysis, growing up poor and neurodivergent in shitty Toronto apartments, still navigating what it means to be Tamil and Canadian at the same time, the good and bad parts of being human
Vocal influences: South Indian Carnatic singing, R&B, Jazz, Blues, folk/country-folk, Eastern European choral
