Born and raised in India, Shreemayee Ramesh trained extensively in Carnatic classical music while falling in love with Western contemporary sound in parallel. She moved to Chicago to study Contemporary, Urban and Popular Music at Columbia College Chicago.

Today she works as a singer, songwriter, composer, arranger, producer, performer, music director, and vocal teacher, moving fluently between indie singer-songwriter, folk, soft rock, and Indian classical repertoire, often within the same set.
