(May 19, 2025) <\/strong>For 21-year-old Asmi Aderay, music is a lifeline to self-expression. Born in Hyderabad but with family roots in Kolkata, she grew up surrounded by melodies even if no one in her family pursued music professionally. \u201cMany of them are passionate music lovers with beautiful voices,\u201d she shares connecting with Global Indian<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThat definitely created an atmosphere of appreciation at home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

That early exposure, especially through school choirs, bands, Hindustani classical training, and performances at school repertoire led to her discovering her passion for Western music as a teenager. As the popularity of English-language music rose in India, so did her determination to craft a voice that bridged cultures and touched hearts. \u201cSince English was the language I primarily used outside of home, it also became my natural outlet for emotional expression,\u201d she shares.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was in eighth grade that a spark turned into something more. Asmi began writing lyrics and simultaneously researching music schools, eventually finding her dream institution. She has just graduated from Berklee College of Music<\/a> in Boston sharpening her skills and building a perspective that oozes confidence in her to reach for the stars. The budding singer has just released her latest album <\/span>Confess to Me.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
