Singh told The Gleaner that music was a big part of her life as a child, and she was classically trained from the time she arrived in the U.S.
“I’ve been singing since I was very young. I sang in church with the children’s choir, and I’ve been classically trained since I was nine,” she revealed. “I would say it’s a thing in my family, because we all like to sing together.
