Meet Ananya

singer • songwriter • veena

Ananya Ashok is a multifaceted singer-songwriter and veena (Indian lute) artist who crafts a unique musical tapestry fusing world, pop, and folk influences. Trained rigorously in Carnatic vocal and veena, Ananya has earned numerous awards in Carnatic music and graced major stages across the United States, India, Singapore, and the UAE, including Indian national TV performances.

Her artistry blends evocative vocals with veena-led melodies to explore deeply personal themes: wistful nostalgia, immigrant identity, societal pressures, and internal dialogues we all carry. Influences span centuries and genres — from Carnatic and folk traditions to iconic voices in American music over the decades.

In October 2025, Ananya will release her debut full‑length EP, a project born from the heart. This collection channels her lifelong existential ponderings and musical evolution into songs that revea'l her journey of self-discovery, emotional resilience, and healing. Through this music, Ananya invites listeners to feel seen, understood, and reminded of the profound power of honest expression.
