Indian-American singer-songwriter Subhi, now based in Chicago, released her debut album of original Hindi/Pop/Jazz songs, Shaitaan Dil (Naughty Heart), in September, 2017. Working with Chicago musicians Joaquin Garcia (Piano), Rajiv Halim (Saxophone), Ivan Taylor (Double Bass) and Gustavo Cortinas (Drums), her album has influences of Chicago jazz and Hindi and Urdu poetry as her songs chronicle romance, the torment of separation and transcontinental migration.

Although she is just at the beginning of her musical journey, Stay Thirsty Magazine is excited to name her A STAY THIRSTY DISCOVERY for Fall 2017 because of her easy style and magnetic voice. We expect big things from her in the future as she links her native Hindi culture to the intricacies of the Chicago jazz tradition.
