We had the good fortune of connecting with SVNDRA and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi SVNDRA, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
My favorite quote to this date is. “Where attention goes, energy flows” im not sure who’s that by but it keeps me grounded and reminds me to keep my head up when things get hard. And makes me realize that if things are going on then its because I keep giving it energy and power. Helps me balance things and manifest.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Ive been on the stage my whole life. I was a professional dancer for about 15 years before starting to take music seriously. I never knew I could be an artist – I figured if I dont have Beyonce vocals then why bother. But I absolutely fell in love with the creative process and the production side of the music. I started treating songs like puzzles and building them up with vocal production. Found my sound and we’ve been off ever since. But the biggest catalyst to me starting music was me breaking my ankle, shattering it totally and with that finishing my professional dance career. Little did I know that painful experience and the dark time period was a blessing. I would have not started taking music seriously if that didn’t happen. I was comfortable in my dance career. And even though it was one of the darkest times in my life I see it as the most beautiful time and I am grateful. Through the pain I found a new path in my life and now im happy. Not only that but I taught me so much. Theres always a silver lining, sometimes its just harder to find.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Hahaaaa, ESTONIA during summer time. I mean its magical to say the least. I wont spoil a lot I dont want too many people knowing about it. LOL

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
it sounds messed up but a huge shoutout to everyone who has ever hurt me, doubted me or in anyway put me down. I feel like we are here to experience all kinds of things in life and all the good stuff get all the good rep. But there is a huge spectrum of all emotions and sometimes the hurt is what creates the best art. But of course all the amazing people deserve a shoutout too: my family, my friends! MY TEAM – Mike, Drew, Eku I wouldn’t be doing what im doing without them. SVNDRA is a group project
