BIOGRAPHY
Austin-based Indian-American musician, Nagavalli, creates an innovative mix of sounds known as "Eastern Soul", fusing pop, rock, and trance with traditional Indian melodies and overtones. Her debut album, "Eastern Soul", released in 2012 showcased the musical talents of Austin's greats such as Pat Mastelotto, Mitch Watkins, Oliver Rajamani, Omar Vallejo, AJ Vallejo and Richard Bowden, helping her create her unique sound in the studio. Nagavalli continued her journey with the release of several singles including “Reach Out,” “How I Love You” and the Joni cover, “That Song About the Midway” with Austin’s award-winning producer AJ Vallejo. She also worked with California-based award-winning producer, Ben Leinbach to release two spiritual music (kirtan) singles “Om Shiva” and “Madana Mohana Murari” in 2018.
Nagavalli released her second full album “Immersion” in January 2019, to rave reviews, and with a sold-out concert at the prestigious One World Theatre in Austin. Nagavalli followed with her third album, “Numinosum” in 2023. Described as a microcosm of her experiences between East and West, both musically and culturally, the Numinosum album release was met with a sold-out show at Austin's iconic Stateside Paramount theater and even celebrated with a “Nagavalli Day” proclamation from the city itself.
