Antara Raja (Junior at Irvington High School, Fremont, CA), was honored to attend an invitational music conference – iPOP (International Presentation of Performers) that witnessed over 600 performers from 30 countries worldwide.
This conference spans over 5 days [Dec 27 thru 31st) at Anaheim, LA attracting top-notch talent performers, leading agents, managers, casting directors & music industry professionals. With Indian American talent in very small & negligible numbers, Antara’s talent shinned.
She has been training last 4 months, bagged 2 awards, and won the audition to sing at the showcase “The Greatest Showman” gala & awards night (Rewrite the stars) directed by industry leading talent scout, actor, show director Bridgett Foster
Antara was humbled to train with Leading musician & American Idol Judge James Lugo. With back-to-back non-stop training sessions, showcase rehearsals, and competitions, Antara exhibited her talent in singing & acting and impressed 25 agents who offered her a callback and were ready to represent her.
Proud for Antara to be elevating Indian-Americans, from the Bay Area in a competitive LA talent group and amongst wonderful performers and artists at large. Our Bay Area kid is breaking new barriers, it is a proud moment for all of us, our community, country and Fremont City.
