Asmi D.

Vocal Improvisation for selected repertoire.

Beginner to Intermediate - Scales, Keys, Notation and Sight Reading.

Graduating from Berklee College of Music, earning Dean’s List recognition for four consecutive semesters, receiving 3 recommendation letters from Recording Academy (Grammy) members for my artistry, and building five years of experience as a voice educator are some of the achievements I’m most proud of.

I enjoy traveling, fitness and yoga, fashion and interior design, discovering new restaurants and cafés, spending time with friends, and exploring Los Angeles.

Voice - Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. I also incorporate music theory, ear training, performance, and songwriting when relevant to a student’s goals. Songwriting - Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.

One of my largest and most memorable performances was participating in Berklee’s Commencement Concert 2025, performing alongside an incredible community of musicians in front of a large audience of 120+. I also opened for Debo Ray with 70+ people in attendance.

Adele. I would love to perform with an artist whose music places so much emphasis on vocals, storytelling, and emotional connection.

Whitney Houston has had a major influence on me vocally. Her combination of technique, power, control, emotion, and storytelling continues to inspire the way I approach singing.

I can help you understand how to build a strong, healthy voice without losing what makes your sound uniquely yours. I combine vocal technique with artistry, storytelling, confidence, and performance so students learn not only how to sing better, but how to sound like themselves.

I developed my voice through years of private training and performance experience back home in India, and further pursued a formal study at Berklee College of Music, where I earned my degree in Vocal Performance. Working with different teachers, styles, ensembles, and live performances helped shape both my technique and teaching philosophy.

I currently use a Yamaha P-125 digital piano and a RØDE NT1 microphone for lessons, vocal exercises, repertoire work, recording, and microphone technique.

Persistence. Vocal growth does not always happen overnight, and learning to stay patient, curious, and consistent has helped me tremendously as both a singer and teacher.

The voice is completely personal. No two voices are exactly alike, and your instrument is physically part of you. That makes learning to sing an incredible combination of technique, self-awareness, expression, and individuality.

I love my younger students and use achievable goals, repetition, imagery, games, and songs they enjoy to keep them engaged while quietly building strong vocal and musical foundations.

Performing my own original music live has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me. Hearing songs that began as ideas in my room come alive with musicians and connect with an audience is something I never take for granted.

'21' by Adele or An Evening with Silk Sonic. It has incredible vocals, songwriting, storytelling, and songs I could listen to endlessly.

Personal growth, meaningful relationships, independence, travel, health, and creating a life that gives me room to keep learning and experiencing new things.

Pop, rock, R&B, soul, jazz, musical theatre, singer-songwriter, contemporary commercial music, and related modern vocal styles.

I enjoy teaching all age groups, from children, teens, to adults. I love adapting my approach to different ages, personalities, and learning styles.

I perform and release music under my artist project, Asmi Aderay. I’ve performed at Berklee’s Women Who Rock, Groovalicious, Breaking Sound LA, The Burren, Bar Lubitsch, and my own headlining shows. I’ve also performed as part of Berklee’s Commencement celebrations and opened for Grammy nominated singer Debo Ray.
