║VIP GUEST – PERFORMER ║

AKASHA:

There are several artists who have managed to create a buzz in the music industry with their outstanding work and stand-out vocal quality. One such artist is Akasha Rec. She is a singer based out of Los Angeles. Her consistent perseverance and distinct vocal ability in Hindi and English has allowed her to establish herself and her work amidst fierce competition. Being one of the first Indian female artists to combine different genres, cultures and ‘taboo’ topics, her style is known to be unique as she blends her two worlds together, the hip hop LA streets with her cultural heritage from India. She finds the perfect balance between the two in her songs and they have gained momentum on all streaming platforms.

║General Guidelines @ Every JAI HO!║

Creating a safe & celebratory space is my number one priority at every event I host.

And I would love for you to be an accomplice of mine by greeting & treating everyone like you would like to be treated. With equality, mutual respect, and a big smile.

I know this does not apply to you because you are awesome but for the other people to whom it may be relevant to, we have zero tolerance for bigotry, racist remarks, and reckless behavior including but not limited to fighting, inappropriate touch, etc.

Anyone found engaging in such behavior will be thrown out at once & may never be able to attend my dance parties again.

If you see something, say something by bringing it to the attention of the venue staff or me directly. <3
