Our guest today is Tanya Wells, British/ Swiss, and spent several childhood years living in North India where language, diverse music, and culture informed the ears and imagination of this talented singer. Her flexible vocal style (attributed to years of having learned Hindustani classical vocal) has given her opportunities to perform with world-renown artists such as sitarist Anoushka Shankar (Cannes Film festival 2014), soul singer Joss Stone (Mama Stones 2013), Arabic vocalist Natacha Atlas (Ronnie Scotts 2016) as well as record vocals for award-winning film composers such as A.R. Rahman and Nitin Sawhney.
With a double Masters (with distinction) in International Performance Research, Tanya now embraces the praxis of bringing cultures together to tell stories through music.
