Parijita is the first in her family born in the United States. When the political unrest began in Nepal, Parijita's dad decided to move the family for safety. Parijita's dad came first, but when bringing the rest of the family over, immigration made it impossible for their older daughter Priyankana to join them. The only way Parijita could communicate with her sister was to write letters. It was Priyankana who introduced Parijita to soul and R&B music. Parijita went on to perform at school in the musicals and choir and eventually in a blues band. For the past five years, Parijita has been gigging at restaurants and bars and recently performed at the International Blues Festival in Memphis.
