Samsera is an American & British Asian songwriter, actress, vocalist and musician of South Asian origin who was born and raised in the London Borough of Hounslow, U.K. 

Also the hometown of Ian Gillan, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Lily Allen, just 20 minutes away from the childhood stomping grounds of Freddie Mercury, Ronnie Woods and Phil Collins. She went to the same school as Jimmy Page. 

Her voice is that of a first generation immigrant who has broken the boundaries of her own upbringing and the anti-female conditioning that hold back the women in her family and culture.

She grew up surrounded by a richly diverse community, mostly consisting of Indian immigrants. The equally prevalent modern Western thinking throughout her childhood, contrasted with traditional Indian values, which Samsera chose to rebel against most of her life.

With musical parents, she was named Sangeeta  after their love of Music - her name in Hindi, roughly translated, refers to voice, music and dance expressed together i.e. music

She began playing clarinet, piano, guitar and singing at age 8. As a defiant teen, Madonna’s music inspired confidence in her voice and while performing her own songs at the request of a supportive music teacher, Sangeeta came to realize her voice and lyrics were powerful and moved people.  

Her early influences included her mother’s love of ABBA and her fathers’ daily harmonium rehearsals of classical Indian Ghazals, Bhajans and Raags.  Her uncle also shared his love of music with Sangeeta, buying her Bowie, Prince and Queen records that she played endlessly.

A self-taught vocalist, she followed her inspiration and immersed herself in mastering the vocal melisma and emotional delivery by the Diva’s, from Aretha and Etta to Whitney, Celine and Mariah. 

Simultaneously, infusing classical Indian inter-tonal frequencies by legendary singers such as Lata Mangeshkar & Asha Bhosle. 

She emerged as a recording artist on Asian Dub Foundation’s “Community Music” which reached #20 in the U.K. Singing in multiple languages on international projects with artists & producers including S-Ken & Punjabi MC, her first Drum n’ Bass EP “Double ID” was a huge success, which she performed nationally on BBC TV and Radio. 

Relocating to NYC, she became recognized on the underground music scene, improvising live city wide. 

Fueled by her desire to tell compelling stories through music she collaborated with songwriter Jody Gray. He pushed her to focus on moving her audience as effectively lyrically as she did melodically, exposing her uniquely evocative conversational style. 

So it was following the release of her first American EP "The Samsera Project" in 2009, that her solo voice fully took hold. 

Her voice is an exotic blend of soulful and sultry tones, embodied by an unmistakable power; that of a piercingly raw, high decibel weapon. 
Leading her fans and musical co-conspirators alike to affectionately dub her "Siren of the Human Race".

Samsera’s  original music is an inspirational combination of Contemporary Pop & Soft Rock with dashes of R&B, spiced with British, Indian and American influences.

Her conversational, matter-of-fact lyrics question and confront a judgmental society that still puts people into boxes. 

Her songs, like footsteps pressed into untouched Antarctic snow, impress upon their subjects her experience as a woman, a minority and an artist, asking, “Who are you to judge?”

Innocence, humility, trusting ones heart and instincts, even in the face of adversity are her overall messages, beat palpably on the drum of acceptance and truth.

Samsera believes what the world says is impossible is indeed possible, and her resilience and long career in music shows it.
