Soul, funk and raw Indian tribalism beat at the centre of Krupa's dhol-shaped heart, and the music emanating from it is, to quote the BBC, 'insanely catchy'.
Krupa has been writing her own music for several years, but a more public persona grew via her performances as lead vocalist alongside the critically acclaimed bands, Sister India, 1Giant Leap and Transglobal Underground.
TGU's remix of her song Emotional YoYo is now featured on 'MoonShout', an album which has just won a BBC Radio 3 World Music Award.
Krupa also appears on double grammy nominated 1GiantLeap's forthcoming CD/DVD/ TV programme 'What About Me' www.whataboutme.tv
The London based singer songwriter's musical path was not something she chose, but rather something that chose her. The lyrics to her track 'Living My Life' articulate the singer's karmic point - to live the life I came for - and Krupa is doing just that. Without compromise.
Currently Krupa is writing and producing her own music, you can see her perform at select venues across the UK.
PS: When Krupa is not singing she works as a freelance stylist, (for herself), and indulges in a never-ending collection of shoes and jewellery. She has a Marjorie Dawes type affection for cup cakes and occasionally bakes apple crumble.

PRESS
"Jaw droppingly good" - The Evening Standard
"Insanely catchy Bollywood pop style" - The BBC
"Cheerful" - The Guardian
"If London is a global city then this is the soundtrack of that city. Take ‘Emotional Yoyo’, a driving beat, thumping bass, Middle Eastern melodies, poptastic/Bollywood female vocals courtesy Krupa, toasting some great hooks — this is London." - www.flyglobalmusic.com
"Especially worthy of a mention is singer Krupa who is, I believe, a relatively new member of the band as I’d never seen her perform before. To be on stage with TGU as the sole female vocalist is no small potatoes – you are treading in the hallowed footsteps of the legendary Natacha Atlas, after all – but Krupa did herself proud and went down a storm with the die-hard fans" Toxin Magazine April 09
