Music, of all arts, has a special place in people’s hearts. It has the ability to connect souls despite the differences in language. But when an artist becomes the art, they can create wonders which can be extremely inspiring. A recent example is Willow Smith, sharing an Indian-rooted American artist on her Instagram stories. But who is the artist that made the 22-year-old artist share her work on her social media?

The Young Artist Award-winner musician loves to explore music. She has often spoken about how different music would inspire her even more. A couple of days ago, Willow shared a post of an artist named Ganavya Doraiswamy on her Instagram story. Doraiswamy is a New York-born and Tamil Nadu-raised vocalist. Her latest release ‘forgive me my’ will be out on the 21st of July and Smith shared the post, expressing her excitement for the same.

Ganavya is a multidisciplinary creator and both a sound smith and a wordsmith. The talented artist has received training as an improviser, scholar, and dancer. Moreover, she is a multi-instrumentalist. She has created an inside library of spi/ritual outlines that have been passed down to her by an assorted bunch of collaborators from diverse eras. This library allows her to continuously anchor herself in the past, present, and future.

On the journey path amid her childhood, she created her abilities through the craftsmanship of narrating, harikathā, and singing verse that studies various leveled social structures. Also, she co-founded the non-hierarchical We Have Voice Collective. Apart from her music, the Indian singer has a rich background as well.

Ganavya Doraiswamy, whom Willow Smith admires, also has a rich study background

Ganavya did not have traditional schooling as a child. In spite of that, she has various degrees in different disciplines. For instance, she has a degree in theater and psychology along with graduate degrees in Contemporary Performance, ethnomusicology, Creative Practice, and Critical Inquiry.

Ganavya, who is both a teacher and a student, wants to learn and share techniques that promote freedom. She wants to explore certain contradictory combinations as well.

A few days after vibing to the 66-Year-Old Jazz Classic, the ‘Wait a Minute!’ singer celebrated this amazingly stunning Indian-rooted singer. Willow’s post made a lot of her fans curious about Ganavya’s work, too. So, if you also wish to explore more work of Ganavya Doraiswamy, you can visit her official website (www.ganavya.com).
