I deconstruct the vocal agility required for artists like Raye or Jacob Collier, then bring that specific technique into the songs I write for your events. Whether you need a powerful belt or delicate acoustic phrasing, you are hearing the exact skills I will bring to your special day. Music is about language and emotion, which is why I record covers in Tamil, Hindi, and English. Tackling the complex runs in a SZA track or the raspy energy of an Anirudh song is not just for social media. It is how I train my voice to handle any vibe your event requires. I record most of these at Streamphony in Jayamahal, where my mentor Richard helps me polish the nuances. This process is how I learned to transition from the intimacy of a piano ballad to the high-energy demands of a rock show. If you are hiring me for your event, you are getting a vocalist who understands how to shape a set list that keeps the energy shifting. I can swing from soulful R&B interpretations of Ariana Grande to nostalgic Bollywood classics like Sunidhi Chauhan’s Kaise Paheli. By the time we hit the studio or the stage for your event, I know exactly how to manage breath, tone, and projection to keep the audience engaged. ## About Tanya Shanker I am Tanya, a 19-year-old singer-songwriter based in Bangalore.
