Veronica Mehta

Veronica Mehta is a British-Indian singer, songwriter, and recording artist, known for her unique fusion of Indian and Western music. She was born on November 17, 1977, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and grew up in London, England. Veronica's parents were originally from India, and she grew up listening to Indian and Western music, which influenced her musical style. She was involved in various school productions and local bands. She began her singing career after being chosen as the female vocalist for the 2Kool album 2Kool Flavor, where she featured on the track Sambhala Hai Meine. Veronica then formed VR1 with Rishi Rich, which experimented with traditional Asian music, remixing and giving vocals an R'n'B twist, and sold 50,000 records in the UK and Europe, earning two Asian Pop Media Awards. After VR1, Veronica joined ePark / Urbanstar and released her single Girls Gotta Have Fun.

She later recorded tracks with her new management record company 2Point9, including "Indian Girl" featuring Hard Kaur and "U 'n' I (Mere Dil Vich Hai)" from the Yash Chopra film Hum Tum. Veronica released her first album, Theen, in 2005 and her second album, Rush, in 2010. She won "Best Female Act" at the UK Asian Music Awards in 2006. However, in 2016, Veronica was affected by breast cancer and took the initiative to end the stigma about the disease in society.
