Lady Indiraa has had three Top 10 singles in the UK Dance Charts. She is an amazingly compassionate Indian born, London bred electro pop sensation who broke into music in her 50's and is now proudly approaching her 65th birthday. Indiraa is all about 'Breaking the Mould' in an industry who uses Avatars for her music videos to mask the fact that she is of an age demographic that most listeners would not believe or even associate with.
Her songs are played by some of the biggest 'A list' DJ's all over the world and her lyrics are a deeply personal expression of experiences such as the loss of her parents, mental health and addiction and a realisation that the her human being was driving her music output when both happy and sad.
Lady Indiraa started to explore street talk, youth culture and used crime podcasts to learn about the language she might use in her lyrics to connect with her growing audience. She has performed in some of London's biggest clubs and also in front of the Mayor of London. Her performances allow her to tap into her alter ego and put on a show that in many ways is a life of escapism.
This episode is a beautifully honest and vulnerable story of someone who many will see as a successful singer songwriter without really knowing the trauma, lessons and life experiences that fuel her creativity. The success of her songs is undoubtedly linked to the connection young people feel with the edgy and honest lyrics that speak of the trials and tribulations experienced by many.
Her song 'Shrink' was dedicated to the death of her therapist after many years of personal development at a time when she was struggling with depression and anxiety. The re-release of the single was predicated on the struggles Lady Indiraa was seeing in the younger generation post pandemic.
When you can accept who you are, you find the strength to open yourself up to others and start to ask for the help you might need. This is all about the power of vulnerability and the need for all of us to care. Enjoy every second of this very special episode.
