<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Samsaya, who was born in India and raised in Norway, mixes pop, dance, hip-hop, funk, and soul with traditional Indian sounds. Her club-ready tunes are influenced by everyone from Mary J. Blige,
TLC and Outkast to renowned Indian singer Asha Bhosle. Samsaya, whose name means "doubt" in Hindi, has been writing lyrics and rhymes since childhood. "At 12, I heard Dinah Washington's 'I'm Mad About the Boy' and upon hearing that trumpet-type voice, something
happened to me," recalls the singer. "Religious lyrics and traditional music didn't touch me. This moved me."</span></p>
