At 21, Madhura Talluri's debut in Indian Tamil blockbuster 'Bigil' as the voice behind Iconic Indian composer AR Rahman's 'Unakaga' was the stuff dreams are made of. Before the nightmare of a global pandemic and a unique set of challenges navigating authoritarian demands from an exceptionally conservative academic environment threatened to instigate the onset of the kind of struggle she has since navigated with the resilience and maturity reflective of a mind far beyond her years.

Madhura currently works as an independent singer-songwriter/musician, continuing a dedicated practice and studies in South Asian Classical vocals, linguistics, and music therapy.
