Sharada Shashidhar is a Los Angeles based vocalist, composer and producer. Her soulful voice takes inspiration from jazz and Indian classical music, which influences her songwriting and productions. Shashidhars elaborate harmonies and vocal creativity come together in a new beat-orientated spiritual jazz. Sharada has performed across the US and EU in spaces such as Le Guess Who? Festival, Badehaus Berlin, Zebulon and more. She has shared bills or collaborated with the likes of Carlos Nio, Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, and Zeroh among others. Sharada graduated from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City and released her debut EP, Rahu, on Leaving Records in March of 2020. Now comes her album Soft Echoes, on Leaving Records.

Though she has an extensive resume as a collaborator in LAs experimental jazz scene, notching work with the likes of Carlos Nio, Zeroh, and the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, Soft Echoes marks Shashidhars first outing as a bandleader.
