Chai Lenin is a Singaporean-Indian artist, currently based in the east coast of the United States. She brings influences of what it will mean to imagine a global, diaspora sound in her music, as she fuses and experiments with tradition and modernity. She aims to bring out the influences of Carnatic music/Indian music in her music, to create renditions of music that will be more diverse, inclusive and accessible. Through her music, she hopes to tell the stories of people like her, caught up in the crossroads of an ever-changing world, wherein the cultural landscape of oneself becomes the starting point to expressing the nuances present within one's diaspora identity. Through her music that utilises Indian Carnatic music as a point of departure and a global narrative of varied identity facets, Chai Lenin hopes to create by re-interpreting and re-defining the boundaries we’ve known with music and the stories we tell through it.
