Keana—aka Keerthana Sudarshan—is a contemporary R&B pop singer from India, with an identity shaped by her journey from carnatic music to touring as frontwoman for Bangalore-based disco, funk band Clown With A Frown and her many solo electronic collaborations.
Her influences range from Stevie Wonder, Snoh Aalegra, Lauryn Hill, D'Angelo, Solange, and The Bee Gees—artists with indelible soul, both old and new.
