Born to a European mother and an Indian father, Avantika Akerkar grew up in India and then came to America to continue her studies. Since her childhood she has always been interested in music and dance, and has
studied the piano, drums and several Indian dance styles.
 Her passion is tosing, so it is with immense gratitude that she thanks Maurizio Dami and Masala for providing her with this amazing opportunity to air her voice.
She hopes to continue her collaboration with them, and looks forward to her being involved in the music scene
