After moving back to America, Sanjna delved into songwriting and music production. At 15, she earned a singer-songwriter merit scholarship to Interlochen Center for the Arts Summer Program (Jewel, Josh Groban, Norah Jones) where she formally studied singer-songwriting and production. Sanjna released her self-produced debut album “Look At Us Now” in 2024 and her second album “Jupiter” in April 2025.  

In one of her first songwriting efforts, Sanjna won first place in the high school division for National Association for Music Education (NAfME). She has also won many national and international awards for classical voice / opera, which she studied at the Manhattan School of Music’s precollege program, and for cello performance.   

Currently, as she continues releasing new music, Sanjna is also immersed in shaping her third album release as part of her senior thesis— a deeply personal project that fuses classical Indian music with modern R&B. 

For Sanjna, balancing the rigors of a double major in Math and Music at Harvard with pursuing a career in music comes naturally. “I eat, sleep, and breathe music—it’s a 24/7 obsession,” she says. “Art is the process through which emotions find form and you make intangible thoughts tangible. The moments you can make this happen are ecstasy.” 

Sanjna is a genre-defying artist whose songs make you feel. An award-winning artist and Harvard senior who blends genres, cultures, and technology with boundless creativity, Sanjna crafts immersive experiences about the beauty of the human experience, echoing the passion of life’s growing pains, lessons, and feelings.  

Sanjna’s voice—described as evocative as Adele and nuanced as H.E.R.—anchors poetic lyrics and elegant production, garnering favorable comparisons to Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, and Lianne La Havas. 

Sanjna’s artistic aesthetic is informed both by her technical training in jazz, pop, opera, classical Indian music, and her passion for rock and R&B. Her musical journey began when she was just three years old, humming along to Bollywood songs during long car rides. She would go on to spend her most formative years as a musician in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India, studying South Indian classical (Carnatic) music, discovering that she had perfect pitch and fine-tuning her rhythm.
