Indian Entertainer Nishi Sings & Dances on Stage this Fall in Dracula & Angels Giants Monsters

September 19, 2011

Mild-manner lawyer by day, Vixen Vampire and Demon Goddess by night? That is the life of Indian-American singer/songwriter & actress Nishi Rajan who is currently on stage in the dramatic play ‘Dracula’ with the Heights Players Theatre in New York City’s Brooklyn Heights and will be next in ‘Angels Giants Monsters’ a dramatic comedy musical with the Tribes Theatre Company.

Nishi Rajan, who is best known by her artist name, Nishi, is originally from India, born in New Delhi and from the south-Indian state of Kerala. The first daughter of Indian immigrants, Nishi grew up in New York from age 5 and has lived there ever since. She has been singing her whole life and began performing professionally in film and theater in 2009. Nishi released her first album of original songs in 2005 which ranged in style from Indian dance to rock and pop. She has performed throughout NYC since 2005 and recently released her newest dance single, ‘Release Me’ this past May 2011. Nishi will be launching her brand new dance EP, ‘Master of My Fate’ this November 2011. ‘Release Me’ is available on iTunes, Amazon.com, Rhapsody, Emusic and everywhere online music is sold. Nishi plans to film the music video for ‘Release Me’ this Fall 2011 to be directed by filmmaker Eliyas Qureshi and to co-star Kal Parekh, currenly co-starring in ABC’s new primetime television series ‘Pan Am’.

In ‘Dracula’, a full-costume and period production directed by Robert G. Waring, and based on the original Bram Stoker story as adapted by Steven Dietz, Nishi plays one of the three sexy vampire vixens who seduce and torture the unsuspecting Jonathan Harker, played by Michael Nigro, visitor to the Castle of Dracula and who learns of Dracula’s dark plans. Part of an ensemble cast headed by George Tsalikas as Dracula, Raymond G. Wagner as Van Helsing, Thomas J. Kane as Renfield, Troy Gochenour as Dr. Seward and Laura Quackenbush and Meaghan Bell as Lucy and Mina, the female heroines who fall prey to Dracula, Nishi scares and seduces in this full-costume and period production along with her two co-vixens Jessica Battaglia and Ariella Toder. The cast is complete with the talents of Billy Wood, Joanna Levinger, Ehsen Malik, Leo Contrino and Anthony Artiga. ‘Dracula’ Nishi says is not for children, there is blood, dark, adult sexual themes, as well as periods of complete darkness, mist and fog. Theater patrons will be transported to Transylvania and 1800′s England.

In Angels Giants Monsters, a musical written and directed by Exavier Wardlaw and scheduled to open in November, Nishi stars as Lilith, the first woman created by man, in this re-telling of the biblical story of the fall of the Angels and creation of the Nephilim, the Giants & Monsters from the Book of Enoch. Nishi is contributing original songs and music for this production and again plays a very sexual and demanding role in this full-costume production. Nishi’s character transforms from human to a demon with wings as she refuses to be submissive to Adam, having been born equal to him. She refuses to obey God’s command and chooses instead to join Lucifer and becomes the mother of all demons, breeding the Nephilim.

Nishi manages to do all this while working full-time 9-5 as a lawyer in midtown Manhattan practicing personal injury and insurance defense litigation and running her own human rights non-profit, the Leading Light Foundation.
