Lyrics, arrangements, vocals, bass, electric sitar, joia, gongs, guitar Fontain has been playing music and singing since she was mini-diva. She grew up in the Washington, D.C. area with her five brothers, all Jazz musicians. Her family had formed close bonds with several Indian and Pakistani families in the neighborhood and a few of them were classical Indian musicians. On summer nights, after snacking on homemade spicy pakoras and masala tea, the families listened to each other play evening ragas with voices, sitars, harmoniums, tablas and sarodes. Everyone was encouraged to join in the music, especially young Fontain.
