“I feel like there is no line demarcating where I end, and a song begins,” says singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sanjna. “I see the creation process through from the conception of a song to the final production of it, allowing me to infuse my style into every element of a song.” 

The award-winning artist and Harvard junior’s music represents a polymath’s musical journey with boundless creativity that bends, blends and defies constraints across genres, cultures, technology, and academic disciplines.  

Sanjna’s songwriting shines a light on the melancholic beauty of the human experience, echoing the passion of life’s growing pains, transforming moments, lessons, and feelings into an intricate landscape, immersing listeners in a soulful symphony. She is a poetic lyricist who cleverly employs metaphor, storytelling, and scene setting to create emotionally evocative songs. Her artistic aesthetic is informed both by her technical training in jazz, pop, art song, opera, and classical Indian music, and her passion for classic rock, pop, indie, and pop-soul. Sanjna’s heartfelt and evocative vocals have garnered favorable comparisons to Adele, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, and Dua Lipa.

Sanjna’s 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 Bangalore, India, studying South Indian classical (Carnatic) music discovering that she had perfect pitch and fine-tuning her rhythm. 

After moving back to America, Sanjna delved into jazz, pop, rock, opera, classical, electronic and world music. At 15, she earned a merit singer-songwriter scholarship to Interlochen Center For the Arts Summer Program (Jewel, Josh Groban, Norah Jones) where she formally studied singer-songwriting and production. Since then, technology, as it relates to the sonic sciences, has become an essential facet of her artistry. “I am motivated by the desire to integrate both analytical and creative processes,” she says. 

Sanjna is part of the 3.4 percent of music producers who are female. “I was also the only girl at robotics camp,” she says with a good-natured laugh. She is fluent in music production platforms such as Logic Pro X, Ableton, and Pro Tools. 

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. 

Sanjna released her debut album “Look at us now“ in 2024 and her second album “Jupiter“ in april 2025. 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 render intangible thoughts tangible. The moments you can make this happen are ecstasy.”
