About

Anandi began her career as a singer-songwriter, recording three albums of original songs. Her funk-rock tune “Enough of You” has received more than 3 million hits on YouTube and other songs have been used on television spots and in commercials.

Anandi holds a great reverence for jazz singers such as Sarah Vaughn and Carmen McRae and loves the challenge and moods of jazz. In doing so she has gathered around her some of the best of Portland’s jazz musicians such as pianist Randy Porter and guitarist John Stowell. Over the years Anandi has established a strong following in Portland, singing at the Rose Festival, appearing at the PDX Jazz Festival, Jimmy Mak’s and producing her bi-annual concert at Classic Pianos.

Never speedy or frantic, she takes her time and draws you into her musical world, leaving you with an appreciation for every note. Anandi's  beautiful renditions of jazz classics, provocative arrangements of well known pop tunes, and distinct songwriting makes her a full spectrum artist.

Anandi regularly performs with Internationally acclaimed guitarist John Stowell. Never settling into a musical box, Anandi is always collaborating with others; projects include PDX's All Female Jazz Quartet, Nica's Dream, the original acoustic trio Maiden Oregon and Retro Soul group AM Sister Soul. She also keeps a busy schedule teaching voice, guitar and piano.

While I currently  teach a wide range of levels and ages, working with kids is my specialty. Bringing my experience in education and childcare together, I encourage young students by bringing patience and understanding to the lesson. Paying attention to what inspires them, I open the door to learning by leading them to their intelligence to navigate through new concepts. With a gentle nudge and a keen intuition I am there to keep the passion for music alive!

For older students I offer 25 years of performance, composition and recording experience. I tend to carve out lesson plans based on individual requests and needs.

Music can bring so much joy! No matter what your goals are, I am here to bring  my students on a great journey -
