John! Thank you! Her father helped her set up her own KZbin channel three years ago, she has some interesting music there. I’m sorry I sent you the one that had the post comments cut off. She tells Howie her inspirations are Tool, Exodus, Slayer. In fact the guitar she is playing was a gift from Tool’s guitarist and she got another from Exodus too. She has been in the US for a few months now and has been jamming with those same artists. At the end of the video it looks like the three sisters from The Warning may have been front row in the audience? She was just in Nashville a few weeks ago at the Gibson Garage among other places. I wish her so much luck! Love her talent and her personality!

She plays indian classical music, carnatic music, which starts slow and goes on to very fast beat and lasts long even upto 3 hours, its very incricate and difficult. This 2 min act is easy.

The interesting thing about here solos was she blended a classical Carnatic Raga into a Metal Solo... the start Aalaap was an excellent fit to what followed... It never seemed out of place. The solo licks had plenty of slides which is basically a lot Gamakas as they would call it... All pretty cool stuff.. Before this she has performed for audiences... though may be not his big on a stage like this... She is used to playing... but getting this good in just 4 years... man...
