I first met Sarada through our local Portland band, Tarana! Tarana needed female singers and Sarada was right there in the neighborhood to join for our 2009 Diwali show. Sarada is often quiet and a bit shy, however, she makes up for all of her silence as soon as she starts singing. Good, clean pronunciation of words that are emoted well! Before the show, she won everyone's heart by singing some of the most peppy, romantic, and difficult numbers such as Jaiyye Aap Kahan, Dil Cheez Kya Hai, and Aao Huzoor Tumko!
Sarada started learning Carnatic classical music from an early age. She also started singing on stage at an early age and participated in numerous concerts/shows including a few on All India Radio. She developed interest in light and film music later on and was an active and popular singer during college.
Her favorite artists are Mohd. Rafi , Asha Bhosle, Yesudas, Hariharan, Chitra, Shreya Ghoshal, Sonu Nigam, Udit Narayan to name just a few. Ilayaraja and AR Rahman are amongst her favorite composers.
Sarada has been living in Portland for almost 15 years with her husband Anil and two wonderful kids.
Coming to the song at hand, while "Tumhain Jo Maine Dekha" from the movie, Main Hun Na is not a show of Sarada's full vocal potential, it is a nice, upbeat, and relatively new song that easily grabs listener's attention. Sarada finished the song in a short time while providing excellent feedback for improvements. And now, here it is for your listening pleasure! Please do tell us about your thoughts on this effort.
Last but not least! Expressions of Heart & Soul is now also on Facebook! The ease of maintenance and convenience of interaction with family and friends helped me make the decision. "Become a Fan" button is an imposition I have been hesitant about but creating a fan page seemed to be the only way that allowed using music players (I could not add a music player to a Facebook Group).
