Sexy Indian Singer/Songwriter Nishi to Sing LIVE on QPTV India Talks LIVE!

She’s Indian and she’s American, sings rock, pop, alternative and her dance music is filled with seductive Indian beats. She writes all her songs and has been performing the New York City bar and lounge circuit for six years and counting. Her name is Nishi, and she is an appealing and rising New York City singer/songwriter who has also made a name for herself as a film and stage actress that moonlights as a lawyer, continuing to work her day job as an in-house defense attorney until she says she hits “the big time.” For this artist, the “big time” may be sooner than she thinks.

In the past year alone, this artist has filmed roles in six films, two of which she starred as the lead, performed in four stage productions, two of which were starring roles in Off-Broadway productions (plays and musicals) and this past May, launched the first dance single off her upcoming new dance EP at a Bollywood dance party in Washington D.C. organized by one of her friends, a famous Bollywood filmmaker. In November, she will again star in another Off-Broadway original musical as the demon goddess Lilith in Angels Giants Monsters, opening for a limited run at the Medicine Show Theatre in New York City and is set to continue musical shows at various venues and festivals throughout New York City.

QPTV’s India Talks Live is a one-hour long monthly Indian entertainment program that has in the past featured various Indian celebrities. On Tuesday’s show, Nishi will sing three of her original songs from both her first album and her new dance EP in an intimate acoustic performance accompanied by select members of her band, The Nights.

During the show, Nishi will discuss her films and stage productions, and viewers will see clips from select films soon to be released and hear call-ins from her directors and co-stars and producers. Nishi will also be announcing her participation as one of the Indian celebrities for Indian dining magazine Varli Magazine’s 2012 Cook-Off (a televised cooking competition show) where Nishi will compete with 16 other Indian celebrities to win the title of best chef.

Nishi (full name Nishi Rajan) was originally born in New Delhi, India and is from the South-Indian state of Kerala. She moved with her family to New York when she was five years old and has lived there ever since. Singing since she was little, Nishi pursued her musical talents professionally when she began working as a lawyer in Manhattan in 2003. Nishi released her first EP in 2005 of original songs ranging from Indian dance to rock and pop love ballads. One of those songs, ‘Story’, was recently picked up to be the feature track in an independent movie by the name of ‘Sailor Moon’ – fans of Japanese anime and manga will recognize that name well as an internationally famous and popular Japanese comic novel and television cartoon. The film is scheduled to screen at NYC hot spot Webster Hall in November and Nishi will be in attendance at the screening.

Nishi’s recent performance in New York City, Sunday, October 16, 2011, at an Indian Diwali Music Festival, was covered by the Capital Post of Washington D.C. Nishi was the opening act for a benefit to support the charity Lend-a-Hand India – a night that included Indian performer Falu and Indie bands Deadbeat Darling and My Pet Dragon. Nishi’s seven song set, comprised of dance, pop ballads and rock numbers from both her 1st EP and her upcoming dance album, ‘Master of My Fate’, set the mood for the crowd who celebrated the entire night.

Nishi’s attention, she says, is focused now on the musical she is starring in and the production of her dance EP, of which the first single off it, the sexy Indian drum-driven number ‘Release Me’, was released this past summer to radio and television airplay and is available now on iTunes, Amazon, CdBaby, Emusic and all online music media platforms. ‘Release Me’, Nishi says, will be one of the songs she performs LIVE on India Talks on Tuesday.

Nishi’s music is best described as a fusion of Indian-American pop, rock and dance and her voice and style have been compared to Dido, Madonna and Jewel. Nishi’s new dance EP ‘Master of My Fate’ will be released in late-2011, her starring turn in Off-Broadway original musical Angels Giants Monsters will open and run November 25 – 27, 2011 and one of her recent feature films, Sid’s Paralysis, where she plays protagonist Kareena, will screen and be released in late-2011.

Nishi is a human rights lawyer who started her own human rights non-profit in 2008 called The Leading Light Foundation, which seeks to report instances of international human rights abuses that are not widely reported or investigated by the media at large.

Nishi’s interview and performance on India Talks LIVE will air on local New York City’s Time Warner Cable channels 34, 35, 56 & 57, on RCN cable channels 82, 83, 84 & 85 and on Verizon Fios channels 34, 35, 36 & 37.
