She debuted as an actress in the series Call Me Bae (2024),[1] produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

Early life

Mishra was born in Brahmapur, Odisha to Odia parents, who migrated to the United States when she was six years old, where she was raised in Chicago.[5] She graduated from Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Illinois in 2015,[6] with a double major in economics and religion.[7][8] She worked as a data analyst, before pursuing a career as a full-time musician.[9]

Career

She started her own YouTube channel in 2007 when she was 13, where she used to upload cover versions of her favorite songs.[10] She featured on Chance the Rapper's "All We Got" from his 2016 mixtape Coloring Book[11] and the song "Found a Good One (Single No More)", from his debut album The Big Day.[12][13]

In 2017, Mishra collaborated with Jamila Woods to create the theme song of the Emmy-nominated web series Brown Girls.[14]

On 19 May 2018, she uploaded a video on her Instagram handle singing a mashup of the Hindi song "Tareefan" and DJ Snake's "Let Me Love You". The mashup caught Sonam Kapoor Ahuja’s attention, and Mishra was subsequently flown to India where she recorded and shot for the reprise version of the song for Veere Di Wedding, along with the other stars.[15]

In 2019, Mishra signed with VYRL Originals, part of Universal Music India to release her non-film music.[16][17] In May 2019, she collaborated with composer-singer Vishal Mishra on "Sajna Ve".[18] She also contributed to film soundtracks throughout 2019, starting with "The Wakhra Song" from the soundtrack of the film Judgementall Hai Kya, alongside Navv Inder and Raja Kumari, which was a remix of the 2015 track "Wakhra Swag".[19] She further appeared on the soundtracks of the films The Sky Is Pink and Good Newwz, on the tracks, "Nadaaniyaan" and "Chandigarh Mein".[20][21]

Mishra has also sung "Running Back To You", an uptempo dance/house record by Goa based producer and DJ Anish Sood, which released in February 2020.[22] In the same year, she featured on the song "Rider", from rapper Divine's sophomore album Punya Paap.[13]

Her debut album, Sorry, I'm Late, released in May 2024, blended Indian and Western pop.[23] It featured guest appearances from rappers Yashraj and RANJ, and the production of the album was primarily handled by Abhijay Sharma and Charan.[24][25] She was featured in Rolling Stone India's first edition of the "Future of Music" list in 2024.[26] In the same year, Mishra debuted as an actor in the web-series Call Me Bae, while also appearing on its soundtrack, on the track "Yaar Tere Bin".[27]

In 2025, she released the single "Teri Hoon", during Pride Month, to support the LGBTQ community.[28]

She is now set to reprise her role as Harleen Babbar in the second season of Call Me Bae.[29][30]
