Born in Mississippi and raised just outside of Washington D.C., Nita began her musical journey at the age of 3, singing Hindi songs with her family. After years of learning classical piano and dabbling with acoustic guitar, teenage heartbreak inspired her first songs. Although she wasn’t sure how to take this path (given that her parents would have rather she become a doctor or engineer instead), she bravely started sharing her songs at coffee shops and open mics around 2005. 

Since then, Nita’s gypsy spirit has taken her to many venues around the country and the world such as The Lincoln Theatre, Rock and Roll Hotel Hard Rock Café in D.C., National Underground & The Living Room in NYC, Room Five and The Fox and Hounds in L.A. and even international venues like Ronnie Scott’s in London.
