Brooklyn-based singer Priya Darshini opens up on her first Grammy nomination for her album, 'Periphery'
Firstpost“Is my idea of being at peace the same as being a home? In November 2020, on the eve of her Grammy nomination, when the Recording Academy “followed” her on Twitter, Brooklyn-based singer Priya Darshini got the first inkling that she could make the cut. I then found the perfect guru, who has strengthened me so much that even today I can sing for hours without any discomfort.” Priya’s musical education follows the distinctly Tamilian upbringing narrative. There’s one commonality in all of this—me!” Featuring renowned cellist Dave Eggar, virtuoso hammered dulcimer player and Priya’s husband Max ZT, famed percussionist and environmentalist Chuck Palmer, and Living Color drummer Will Calhoun, Periphery is as much a sonic exploration as it is a sensory experience. In a sense, it is Priya’s search for what the idea of “home” means, one that resonates with so many of us who struggle to identify ourselves in the world.
