She has performed over 200 live folk shows across India and internationally, representing India at prestigious cultural events-including performances for Parliamentarians and the Prime Minister of Canada, as well as extensive tours sponsored by ICCR across Europe and North America, alongside traditional folk communities like the Langas, Manganiyars, and Kalbeliyas.

Known for her bold and earthy style, lla has composed, written, and sung for numerous folk and pop albums, infusing traditional rhythms with modern instrumentation. Her timeless hits like “Choli Ke Peechhe” and “Ring Ring Ringa” reflect her ability to straddle cinema and tradition, while her musical productions continue to spotlight rural voices and instruments that might otherwise go unheard.

A true cultural ambassador, lla actively incorporates folk artists into her shows, and during the pandemic, extended aid to folk communities in need. Her voice is not just music—it’s the soul of the desert, the strength of women, and the sound of a heritage that she has fiercely protected and celebrated.
