“Money or fame? Whichever leaves my sanity intact,” says Aryaana G

Don’t mistake her for Ariana Grande even though their names sound similar. Indian-born musician Aryaana G, who moved from Mumbai to LA in 2019, is known for her versatile vocals especially after the release of her first single Stockholm Syndrome with US rapper O.T. Genasis, last year. She recognised her passion for music as early as she was eight years old. It was after the self-taught musician started working with music producer Rohit Kulkarni right out of school that she was “spotted” by a US talent management firm on social media, and one interview later, she was en route to LA, where she spent the lockdown. Any lockdown self-discoveries? “That I can spend an alarming amount of time doing absolutely nothing. I love my bed,” she giggles, adding that this year she has resolved to work on being more patient. Well, after 2020, that’s all of us, Aryaana!
