Female Hindi Artist Use Her Creativity to Comfort Others During COVID Crisis

LOS ANGELES - April 15, 2020 - PRLog -- "Shelter in place." Just six months ago this phrase was unheard of. Now, these simple words have become a mandate affecting billions and forever changing the world as we knew it. While social distancing can be difficult for most, the anxiety and loneliness of self-isolation pose greater risks for those suffering from mental health issues.  Experts agree that exercise, hobbies, and meditation can be used to manage the emptiness while music added to these activities can greatly enhance their positive effects.

Independent Singer Nita Chawla and Producer Matthew Insco are using social media to reach others during the worldwide lockdown. Their new single, "Set You Free" is available on all music platforms through White Lion Audio and The Orchard. Additionally, the pair created some unique opportunities to reach those close to them. "The world feels quieter and calmer," Nita says. "I've been able to go online and perform which is something I've been wanting to do!"

Last week, Nita helped to host a week-long Facebook event called "Soulspiration" where she invited guests and artists to share their gifts and talents to help others cope with loneliness. "Matt and I performed a sound bath journey made up of meditative ambient guitar, vocals and nature sounds. This is a new form of musical expression for us that was born out of this self-isolation time," Nita shared.

She goes on to say, "This pandemic has been a sobering experience. It's felt like a stripping away of what's unnecessary, leaving us with what we really need and care about. I've realized that there's a lot I can let go of and only a few things worth really prioritizing like our health, relationships, quality time together, time in nature and creativity."

Born in Mississippi and raised just outside of Washington, DC, Nita began her musical journey at age 3, singing Hindi songs with her parents and older sister. After years of classical piano and acoustic guitar training, her first teenage heartbreak inspired her to begin songwriting.

In 2007 she performed regularly at a local bookstore in her hometown, (Germantown, MD). Since then, Nita's gypsy spirit has taken her to many venues around the country and the world such as the Hard Rock Cafe in DC, New York City's National Underground, Room Five in Los Angeles, and even Ronnie Scott's in London, UK.

Her living room is now the stage, but her love for reaching others through music remains the same. "We are happy to keep sharing more of this with the world," says Nita. "We truly feel music brings joy and healing."
