Lisa Mishra

A Chicago-based data

analyst, Lisa Mishra

shot to fame overnight

in 2018 when she pos-

ted a mash-up of the

songs ‘Tareefan’ from

Veere Di Wedding

(VDW) and ‘Let me

love you’ by DJ Snake

(featuring Justin

Bieber) on Instagram.

The track was an in-

stant hit, so much

so that VDW-producer

Rhea Kapoor asked

her to record a reprise

with members of the

film’s cast. Since then

the singer, who posts

her songs on YouTube

and other platforms

since 2007, has signed

an exclusive deal with

VYRL Originals, a plat-

form launched by

EMI Records, India

that promotes inde-

pendent artists, and

produced a song

with composer–singer

Vishal Mishra, in what

was one of the label’s

biggest collaborations.
