Having had her roots in Indian traditional music and having grown up with the powerful influences of soul, pop and R'n'B, Ambika was determined to debut with an album that amalgamates both influences to present music of a new genre that was truly her. She came up with "Indioul" - soul with influences of Indian. Having put Indioul to the test at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival earlier this year, she won the USA Weekly News 100-star award for best performance.

Having grown up in both India and Britain, Ambika has drawn her musical influences from a diversity of musical traditions, which is undeniably evident in the style of her voice and her music. As the daughter of a renowned violinist, string arranger and composer, both, her inherited gift of music and the dynamic musical environment in which she grew up have guided her dreams and ambitions throughout her life.

She started learning music at the age of 6 and at the age of 10, she was the youngest violinist to perform at the South Bank Centre’s Meltdown festival in 1997. Since then, she has been performing extensively around the UK, including at the BBC Family Proms in 2005 and with the Philharmonia Orchestra in 2007. Besides a flourishing career in music, she is taking on board a career in acting and is currently studying a Film & Television with Media Arts degree at St. Mary's London. She was featured in the recent BBC Asian Network advert and 'Desi mixer'. She is a budding singer-songwriter, model and actress. She was featured in "A Distant Mirage" and working in a new film by Walt Disney Productions and Jerry Bruckheimer Films "Prince of Persia" as a featured extra.
