EAST MEETS WEST, TIMELESS STORY-TELLING MEETS TECHNOLOGY"

“I really enjoy her honest songwriting. She presents a very modern view of love.” 
—Midnight Poutine

"[Her] voice is controlled and haunting… but in this case, there’s an intimate (at times, overtly sexual) undertone in the music and lyrics that would make a shy listener blush.” 
—Bucketlist Music Reviews

"While the Icons of Dreams EP is her debut, the sharp electronics will make you feel like you're traversing through auditory ether. It shows a beauty and composure you'd normally hear from a seasoned performer, a certain maturity that you don't normally expect from a debut." 
—Forget The Box

"The excellent control of Chanda M's voice does not erase the emotion that is present. Head voice certainly, but we feel the heart." 
—Geneviève Plante, YULorama

Chanda M's music is lyric driven and melodic, with electro-ambient sounds. Her bewitching vocal style has been compared to that of Kate Bush, Bjork and St. Vincent. In fall 2017, she released her second music video entitled “Gaia” via Les Méconnus. The single is off of her sophomore EP, Oracle, which was launched at Casa del Popolo on Oct 17th, 2017.

Chanda M's music has been showcased on several radio stations, including CKUT 90.3 FM, CIBL 101.5 FM's Emission Le Retour and CKCU Radio Ottawa. Her passion for music also permeates her scientific works, which include articles on the neurochemistry of music.

Chanda M is a world-traveller who draws upon a wide palette of influences, including her combined East Indian and German cultural roots. Echoes of the past merge with rhythms of the future on her latest EP, Oracle. Ancient cultures collide with modern technology as Chanda M’s voice and lyrics dance through the spaces between them.

Interview on CIBL 101,5 FM Le Retour  

I had a really wonderful time promoting my music and performing live on CIBL 101,5 Emission Le Retour  last month! Anne Marie Kirouac was a great interviewer who really went in-depth with her questioning. The rest of the staff was highly professional, too. 

It was exciting to play live piano and sing in front of a huge window facing the busy intersection of St Catherine/St Laurent! I'm very grateful to Indie Montreal for making the interview happen. Now, here is an archived version for your listening pleasure!

"Icons of Dreams" EP Launch Party @ La Vitrola on Nov 12, 2016 


On November 12th, 2016, I celebrated two births! The release of my "Icons of Dreams" EP and my actual birthday. I performed for a full house, together with my producer Raphael Rosenwald on synthesizer and two great opening acts, Montreal-based artists Jazzotopes and Ultra K. It was an unforgettable evening!

"Ghostwriter" Video Launch Party 

We all had a good time at the "Ghostwriter" video launch party! It was amazing to be surrounded by the love and support of my friends, family and fans. I even got to do a little Q & A session with my talented collaborators, including Michael Rien (Primal Urge Productions), Alexx Pacifici (video director) and the lead actor (a.k.a. "mystery man"). DJ Semira enveloped us in her groovy sounds. Pamela Hart did a great job on sound!
