Whether it is the grit of 'What Lies Beneath' or the dramatic pop of 'Cyberfantasy,' I try to keep it honest. If you are looking for a songwriter who pulls from real, often messy, human experiences, I would love to chat about your story. Getting recognized by publications like Rolling Stone India, The Hindu, and BBC Sounds has been an incredible validation of the hard work my team and I put into every track. My music focuses on themes of resilience, the complexity of online identities, and the raw emotions of modern relationships. When I write, I want to capture that specific feeling you cannot quite put into words. My songwriting process is collaborative and deeply personal. I have worked on everything from dramatic pop singles to acoustic ballads, ensuring that the sound always fits the narrative. If you are looking for an original song to gift a loved one, or a commercial topline for a track you are producing, I bring that same storytelling focus to your project. I am based in Jayamahal, Bengaluru, but I frequently work with clients remotely across India and internationally. Whether we are building a track from scratch with a full band or keeping it simple with just a piano, I am here to help turn your ideas into a finished song. Let's make something real together. ## About Tanya Shanker I am Tanya, a 19-year-old singer-songwriter from Bangalore living my dream. I do not just write songs; I write diaries about messy love, online personas, and finding resilience in the chaos, helping you tell your own stories through music.
