Azadi is a q***r, trans, neurodivergent, bi-racial musician, composer, and storyteller whose work embodies the idea of freedom without fear, honoring their East Indian roots. Their work lives at the intersections of social justice, psychology, and music. Azadi's love for the piano journey began early; their vocal cords were damaged in a surgery and they learned to play the piano before they could speak. This transformative language became their medium to translate life experiences into a universal form of expression – sound. In the face of adversity, music has provided Azadi hope. Currently, Azadi has released two full-length albums and is releasing a third album in March 2025. In addition to making music, Azadi enjoys tending to their small homestead farm (with goats and chickens), baking gluten-free treats, and propagating their jungle of houseplants.
The Pride Storytelling Project is a collaboration with Capital City Pride 💖
