My name is Riya Kumar and I am a sophomore at Marian High School in Omaha, Nebraska. I have been training with voice lessons since the age of 12 and I am professionally trained in Classical, Musical Theater, and Pop singing. I have been training in classical Carnatic Indian singing for the past 10 years. I am always looking for new opportunities to hone my craft and learn more about the world of music.
