On March 6th, Mr. Vegas and his band hit the stage at Mango Ranch, for the album launch of his "SWEET JAMAICA" double album released in the 50th year of Jamaica's Independence. Renowned producer, Mikie Bennett was present and shared insight into the making of the project. Joining Vegas to perform one of the songs from the album "He's Alive & Well" was reggae stalwart, Luciano. The beautiful Nadine Sutherland, who is featured on "Magical" also made a special appearance, as was the signature voice, Barrington Levy. Smooth-singing Natel opened the show with "Sorry," also penned by Indra 'iNDRANi' Rudder, who co-wrote 7 tracks on the much-awaited album

On Saturday, January 28th, Simon Pipe featuring iNDRANi and Onika Best take the stage at the annual Bequia Music Fest.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to Barbados, the home of turquoise waters, golden sand, and oceans of talent

Listen out for iNDRANi live on www.caribvoiceradio.org this Saturday morning, with a group of Visionaries, hosted by Aubry Padmore

Listeners tuned into top German radio station "funkhaus europa" at 9:40a.m on Oct. 29th were treated to the sound of iNDRANi. The Singer/Songwriter made quite an impression at a 'Jam Session' held at the Caribbean booth for WOMEX 2011, and was invited to do a live performance of her revolutionary single "MISSION" on air and have an interview with journalist Hu-Young. iNDRANi was introduced as an artist (originating out of the Caribbean) to 'look out for,' with an intriguing and signature style of guitar strumming, hauntingly beautiful vocals, and powerful messages in her music.

On the heels of fulfilling another Songwriting assignment in Jamaica with reggae/dancehall star, MR. VEGAS, iNDRANi prepares to attend WOMEX in Copenhagen, Denmark. 

"It was one of the most instrumental trips of my life." The Singer/Songwriter shares. "Writing with Mr. Vegas is a thrill. He challenges me to 'up' my game; most times, I have to write 2 - 3 songs on the same 'riddim;' one for him, one for me, and one for another artist of his choice...or quite often, the song decides whom it's for. I am loving the experience of sharpening my skills and going back to the drawing board; of course, I also love when he likes the song from the get-go," iNDRANi added, with her signature smile. "In a career wrought with competition, ego, and control, I have tremendous respect and appreciation for people who genuinely inspire and encourage others to grow forward. I've met a few more people like that recently. There's a kind of litmus test I do when approached by people in the industry; I mention my mentor, EDDY GRANT and explain that I'll want to run whatever proposition it is on the table, by him first. Their reaction informs my decision."

She has been hard at work over the past few months, writing and co-writing songs for reggae/dancehall star, MR.VEGAS, who has also made it his business to push her forward as a Solo Artist, having aligned her with Q45 studios, top Songwriter/Producer, Mikie Bennett and Rory from Jamaican's #1 sound system, Stone Love. "It was an absolute honour experience working with Mikie. He co-wrote of one of the songs I recorded there on this most recent trip. Having him guide me from the control room while I was in the booth, was sweetly reminiscent of those foundation days and years with Eddy. One word to describe the experience on a whole: B-L-I-S-S. Some boss musicians also blessed the track with their brilliance and great vibes. Rory from Stone Love is practically a legend where I come from, and I absolutely love his spirit. He's so down to earth yet not limited to this earth; I tend to gravitate to these people. His creative openness allows him to channel and create some powerful and mystic music. Mr.Vegas, Lexxus, Mikie, Rory, Q, Junior, Chester, the immortal spirit of Bob (Marley) and the blessing of my root, Eddy (Grant) - these are some of the names responsible for me making my way to Jamaica in the very near future.

With internationally chart-topping feel good anthem, "SWEET JAMAICA" under her belt (co-written with Mr.Vegas, Shaggy, and Josey Wales) iNDRANi is fast becoming known as the Diane Warren of the Caribbean.
