Singing Sensation, Roveena Gnanabakthan

This week we bring you Roveena Gnanabakthan – a Toronto based vocal powerhouse that captures you instantly. She first grabbed attention with her riveting cover of Etta James classic “At Last.” That made her a YouTube star and led to a CITY TV appearance that has launched a musical career destined for greatness. She studied classical piano and composition as an undergraduate at The University of Waterloo, but chose to pursue a career in human resources. Her love of music never diminished, however, and she began posting YouTube videos of performances of cover songs. That led to a genuinely life-changing moment when Toronto’s CITY TV invited Roveena to perform on their Breakfast Show. She was quickly invited to sing the national anthems at Blue Jays and NFL games, and a placing in the Top 10 on the singing competition show TVI’s Superstar boosted her profile in the South Asian community, both in Canada and internationally.
