Amanda Sodhi is an Indian-American singer-songwriter, lyricist, filmmaker, VO artist, theatre professional, freelance model and founder of Pen Paper Dreams. Born and brought up in Washington, DC (where she co-wrote her first award-winning feature film Life! Camera Action...), Amanda Sodhi later moved to Los Angeles (where she wrote and directed short films The Dance of Death and Through Bloodshot Eyes that travelled to film festivals around the world and also translated several of Prasoon Joshi's lyrics from Hindi to English for his anthology Sunshine Lane).
Amanda Sodhi says, “While I was travelling to Kalimpong, I noticed Sagar Desai's Facebook post that he was looking for Punjabi lyrics. Coincidentally, I had just written something that happened to be in Punjabi during my travels. So, I sent it to him, unaware what the project even was. And, that ended up becoming Musafir. Later, when I was travelling, yet again, this time to Gangtok, he reached out with a scratch track of Jiya Jaye. I was stuck inside a cafe during the rain and wrote the song that very day. Of course, both these songs' final versions are a lot shorter than the initial lyrics I had sent. But, I love the vibe of the compositions - they are fun, upbeat songs!”
