來自印度傳統家庭、才華洋溢的她，勇敢地跨海尋夢——她在美國波士頓，同時於哈佛大學和伯克利音樂學院（ Berklee College of Music）攻讀雙學位，一面以她融合印度傳統音樂、百老匯、福音與信仰音樂，結合現代流行音樂的表現風格創作不懈，身兼歌手、作曲者與音樂劇表演者的多重身份。
她的首支單曲 I Like ，更以360度的環景虛擬實境（VR）方式拍攝ＭＶ，成為南亞的首例；同時她也在美國、印度和菲律賓等國巡迴演出，曾獲得印度國家戲劇院的最佳女主角提名。
．關於 #24day24hourcoverchallenge
今年的 12 月 17 日，Avanti開始了「24天24小時翻唱挑戰」（24day24hourcoverchallenge）的計畫：她在社群上徵求粉絲們提名自己喜愛的歌曲——不論任何語言、音樂風格都可以——而她將只有24小時的時間，學會這首歌、演唱、找到適合的合作樂手，並且製作剪輯完成一支音樂短影片MV。
目前粉絲們向她「點歌挑戰」的：包括法文歌、西文歌、英文歌、菲律賓他加祿語歌曲、印度各地語言的歌曲——當然也包括中文歌！
今日，Avanti同步於她的社群平台和換日線臉書專頁上，發表這首來自G.E.M.鄧紫棋的《光年之外》翻唱版本，大家不妨聽聽她在 24 小時之內的短暫時間中，翻唱得「標準不標準」～
目前Avanti正在規劃歐洲、美洲和亞洲的巡迴之旅，或許我們很快將有機會，在台灣和她見面。
