Born and raised in the USA, Tanuja Desai Hidier is a writer/singer-songwriter now based in London. She is a recipient of the James Jones First Novel Fellowship and her short stories have been included in numerous anthologies. Her pioneering novel, Born Confused —  the first-ever South Asian American coming of age novel, set in the context of New York City's bhangra/underground club scene the summer aspiring photographer heroine Dimple Lala turns seventeen — was named an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults and became a landmark work. USA Today commended it as “compelling and witty…gives voice to a new generation of Americans…a rare and daring portrayal.” In starred reviews, Publishers Weekly praised it as “absorbing and intoxicating…sure to leave a lasting impression,” and Kirkus called it “a breathtaking experience.” Born Confused was recently hailed by Entertainment Weekly and Rolling Stone as one of the best young adult novels of all time. Its long-anticipated sequel, Bombay Blues, deemed “a journey worth making” in a starred Kirkus review, explores everything this generation faces today, with a heady mix of uncertainty and determination, despair and inspiration, haunting loss and revelatory love. When We Were Twins, Desai Hidier’s album of original songs based on Born Confused, was featured in Wired Magazine for being the first-ever “booktrack.” Wired deemed it "reminiscent of Alanis Morissette...[the music] reflects the clash of styles, sounds, and influences inherent to cultural assimilation and urban living." Bombay Spleen is her booktrack album of original songs linked to Bombay Blues.
