From the earliest days of childhood, music wove its threads into the tapestry of Shriya’s life. Inspired by the melodies sung by her father, a young soul found solace and inspiration in the world of music. Shriya shares that her parents often took her to concerts almost every week. Watching the amazing singers captivate the audience on stage, she knew deep down that performing like them was something she wanted to do one day.
Shriya reminisced about her debut into songwriting, recalling how it all began with the fluttering emotions of teenage infatuation. It was her first crush that sparked the creative flame within her. Too bashful to express her feelings directly, she channelled her emotions into lyrics, crafting a heartfelt confession set to music. With trembling hands and a shy smile, she performed her song in front of her friends, hoping to convey her hidden feelings in a subtle yet courageous manner. Thus, her journey as a songwriter began, fuelled by the tender emotions of youthful longing and the quiet courage to share her heart with the world.

In her latest release, "On My Mind," Shriya's takes a new turn, delving into the complexities of romance. Within its melodies lie the themes of nostalgia and acceptance, painting a picture of love's transient nature. Intriguingly, the inspiration for this lyrical exploration came from an unexpected source. Just days before penning the song, Shriya found herself captivated by a television program featuring a reference to chess maestro Bobby Fischer. Amazed by the analogy, she seamlessly wove it into her lyrics, likening the dynamics of her relationship to the strategy of a chess game. Thus, her music became not just a vessel for emotion, but a canvas for audio storytelling, where every note carried the weight of a thousand feelings and marked a personal journey.
“Releasing my first song at just fourteen was scary. I was full of nerves and unsure of what to expect. But as time passed, I learned valuable lessons. I realized that success doesn't happen overnight. It takes patience and persistence. So, I embraced the journey, knowing that consistency and resilience were the keys to true success.”
With her debut album slotted for a release in 2024, the horizon sparkled with the anticipation of undiscovered sounds and stories waiting to unfurl. In this forthcoming chapter of her musical journey, she stood at the threshold of new beginnings, poised to share her stories with the world and carve her place in the industry.
Shriya's musical tastes draw inspiration from a variety of artists. From the powerful vocals of Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande to the introspective lyrics of Mac Miller and indie sensations like Kayan and Meba Ofilia, each artist influenced her in their own unique way. Their music left a lasting impression, shaping Shriya's own sound and adding depth to her musical identity but Pop and R&B emerged as her chosen sound, offering rich hues of melody and rhythm. Influenced by the flag bearers of the genre, from Ariana Grande to Summer Walker, she sought to blend their essence with echoes of jazz legend Ella Fitzgerald and soul pioneer D'Angelo, forging a signature sound.

Juggling school work and music was like walking a tightrope for Shriya but she relied on her trusty calendar to be on the track. Days were for studying hard, while nights were her time to let loose and create music under the moon's gentle glow.
“To my fellow dreamers on this musical journey, I have a simple yet powerful message: Keep pushing forward, even when doubts try to hold you back. Let your passion for music be your guiding light, leading you through the maze of challenges until you discover your own melody of fulfilment.”
