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.

It is similar to the taste and texture of fudge, but more crumbly and melts in your mouth! It is a favourite to both the young and old, and always a nice treat to go with your afternoon tea or coffee, or to be offered in a dessert spread after a traditional Tamil meal.
