Before the much lauded jazz siren performs smooth original tunes from Contentment, her sophomore album, she gives Patrick Benjamin a sneak peek into her musical mentality.

Contentment is all about... living a life of passion without fear or doubt, embracing life notwithstanding its frailty, hope and love.

One little ritual before I perform is... to repeat the word “Ohm” a few times to calm my breath and mind.

Performing is cathartic because... I get to be myself.

Biggest myth about local jazz... is that it is non-existent.

I would love to collaborate with... a consummate composer, poet and performer who does not rely on fancy costumes and gimmicks.

The perfect gig involves... music that is pure and heartfelt.

Catch Rani Singam on November 16 & 17 at Esplanade Recital Studio.
