Sentirenla Lucia

Sentirenla Lucia was born to a politician in Northeast India and raised on Glam Rock. So, when the 32-year-old vocalist embraced Motown and Neo Soul, it was quite the surprise. Lucia, a resident of Dimapur, learned her harmonies from the churches in Nagaland. “Music was a daily exercise. I used to sit in a corner and listen, and later, participate. The Motown and Rhythm and Blues fever started when I moved to Delhi last year, and was introduced to Jazz and a cappella,” she said.
