Hailing from Mumbai, Ananya Sharma is a singer, composer, producer and engineer whose musical background combines formal training in Western styles of music, with cultural exposure to Indian music growing up. As a result, she is an artist who is passionate towards creating music that celebrates her cross-cultural influences.

Starting her musical journey at the True School of Music in 2018, Ananya obtained her Bachelor's degree in Music, from Vijaybhoomi University in 2022. Subsequently, she completed her Masters in Music at Berklee València in 2023 with a focus on songwriting and production in her study.

Since 2018, Ananya has actively contributed to Mumbai's independent music scene, with her own projects; as a founding member of former vocal trio 'Queendom' and solo project collaborations with notable figures like Sanjay Divecha and Anurag Naidu.
