As a kid, Shashi had a big mouth when it came to singing (and still does).
She didn't care how flat she sounded or if she was singing the
right words. She just wanted
to sing. This brought some
over-the-bifocals looks from her musical directors but, of course, this
failed to subdue her enthusiasm. She
just kept bellowing like a moose in heat, every chance she got.
She finally realized that not everyone was enthralled with her
unconstrained artistic expression, especially since she was an alto.
By the grace of the gods, she had an epiphanic moment and realized
that in order to avoid damaging any innocent ear drums, she'd better chill
out and reflect on the good of the universe.
Many
years later, thru courageous soul searching within the inner sanctums of
her larynx, she slowly crawled out of her vow of silence and opened her
mouth to sing again, with wobbly self-confidence.
Luckily (for her and the rest of the planet) she found a voice she
could live with, without endangering any species or causing
life-threatening avalanches.
Since
then, we are happy to report, she has received a total of zero glares from
professional musicians, except her daughter.
But that's another story - however,
it should be noted that the underlying glare-causing experiences have been
related to non-musical origins. If
you have children, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Shashi
has done numerous musical stage productions.
Concerts and radio shows have also graced her path.
She's been writing music for about 10 years, accompanying
herself on guitar or piano.
"Sound of a face" is her debut album.
Her folkish, earthy style resonates her passionate love for
Mother Earth. Acoustically
accompanying herself on guitar, drums and percussion, she also bribed several other amazing (and gullible) musicians
to play along. Her music will make you smile.
one must still have chaos in one's self
to be able to give birth to a dancing star
