The Healing Power of Music: Grammy-Nominated Radhika Vekaria on The Debbie Nigro Show

It’s not every day you get to chat with a true musical visionary, but that’s exactly what happened on Wellness Wednesday when I welcomed Grammy-nominated artist Radhika Vekaria to The Debbie Nigro Show!

Radhika’s voice isn’t just beautiful—it’s healing. Her album Warriors of Light has earned her a well-deserved Grammy nomination in the Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album category, and let me tell you, this woman is redefining ancient music in the modern world.

Born in London with Indian and East African roots, Radhika grew up surrounded by music—literally from the womb! Her father was a connoisseur of Indian classical music, and she found her voice through song, even overcoming a lifelong speech impediment. Now, she helps others unlock their own voices through sound coaching.

Oh, and did I mention she’s collaborating with NASA on a planetarium show? That’s right—her cosmic vocals are about to be paired with stunning space imagery in a groundbreaking project with the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab.

Radhika’s philosophy? “I don’t make music for you to see me. I make it for you to see yourself.” Talk about deep!

If you need some soul-soothing sounds in your life, you must check her out. Listen to our full conversation now—trust me, you’ll feel inspired (and maybe even a little more zen).
