Ishani obtained her degree in TV, Film and Radio at NTU, the top University in Asia, before she moved to London to study Audio Engineering at Alchemea & Point Blank. Her first track ‘Pelican Elephant’ was picked up by MTV India. Ishani has performed at Sziget Festival and she’s also opened for the Icelandic electronic group ‘GusGus’ at Be My Lake Festival. Her second single ‘Don’t Stop the Fight’ was picked up by VH1 and included in the Indian interactive comic book Priya’s Mirror. Ishani is deeply influenced by artists such as Massive Attack, Portishead, Morcheeba and Hooverphonic. She has recently been made a BBC Introducing artist by Bobby Friction.

Instantly recognisable by her distinctive vocals, and with incisive and often challenging lyricism, (‘Don’t Stop The Fight’ for example centres on the horrific social effects of rape), Ishani has already earned her dues as a serious and provocative recording artist. Her single ‘Insomnia’ centred on the anxiety that keeps us awake every night, and ‘Dark Angel’ was inspired by the loss of two of her friends to suicide.. Together they, along with ‘Stormy Emotions’, teased her upcoming EP also titled ‘Stormy Emotions’, co-produced with Zaflon, which is to be released later this year.

Ishani hits the pop landscape as a serious artist committed to making both provocative and widely appealing work. Her themes are culled from the darkness and the light in the world around her, and she weaves her razor sharp observations into pristine and addictive electro-pop.
