Alexandra Shrivinas
Alexandra Shrinivas is a singer songwriter based in Glasgow. Her work ‘A woman and her world’ was commissioned for Powa Scotland in 2022. She supported the band Campbell Jensen on their European tour that same year and her latest single ‘Luna’ was released December 2023. She is currently working on a soundscape this year around her poetry collection ‘Fell’ (shortlisted for the John Byrne Award of Summer 2023) that poses the question of whether we have to tear apart nature or humanity to fully understand one another. She performs regular with Guitarist of Old Solar Mark Russell and is also part of a new venture called Sonder with band members Jodie Robertson, Patricia Crozier and Eilidh Grant. The music explores themes of love, heartbreak and experiences of her mixed Scottish and Indian heritage through her own creations, and she hopes to break down barriers and the assumptions that come with being an artist of mixed ethnicity or minority.
