StarBuzz Weekly-
Where were you born and raised?
I was born and raised for 17 years in the City of Dubai
How do you think the environment you were in and your surroundings shaped for what you do now?
I have been raised in the city of Dubai which is a hub for South Asians. About 85% of the expatriate population is South Asians. I was always surrounded by Indian music and culture. As a kid, my parents got me involved in many different activities such as indian classical music, dancing, painting, swimming. Since I was the only child of my parents, their expectations from me were high and they always wanted me to grow up as a well-rounded person. Also, both my parents' families are involved in music so I always had the support and encouragement to do well in the field of music.
What led you to realize that you wanted to be involved with music and wanted to be singers and musicians?
From Barrhaven to Bollywood, watch out for Shweta
Beauty, brains, and a talent for belting out tunes, Indo-Canadian singing sensation Shweta Subramanian has just completed recording tracks for three upcoming movies – It’s a Mismatch, Red Light Bhangra, and “I Do, Do I”.
It’s a Mismatch is directed by Ajmal Azheer Ahmad and stars Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, and Nandana Sen, with Shweta providing the playback voice for Nandana Sen in the song Pehchaan Lijiye.
Three weeks ago, the Barrhaven singer took to the stage at the National Arts Centre alongside Tarun Nayar, of Delhi 2 Dublin fame and composer of the Canadian documentary film, Red Light Bhangra. The film focuses on the rehabilitation of human trafficking victims. Shweta co-wrote and sang on a track that focuses on the joys of freedom. The final project, “I Do, Do I” is an upcoming slapstick comedy featuring Shweta’s voice in the title track produced by Vikas Kohli, out of Toronto.
Against all odds: Indian Canadian seeks success in Indian music industry
WHILE many dream of success, very few take the necessary steps to reach that goal. But Indian Canadian artist, Shweta Subramanian, has taken the leap to turn that dream into a reality. The 25-year old, who has a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce from Carleton University in Ottawa, went to India to fulfill a lifelong dream.
It all began after she won the title of Best Singer in North America under the banner of Surtarang by the Sangam Kala Group who held a competition in Toronto in December 2005. The singer rose above 200 talented singers from different parts of North America including California, New York, Edmonton, and Toronto to gain the coveted title. It was then she decided that India was where her
destiny lay.
“I didn’t want it to end there and decided to venture further in the world of South Asian media”, says Subramaniam, who has worked as a radio jockey for Bollywood Hungama on Chin FM 97.9 and was a host for Sounds of India on Rogers 22 in Ottawa.
