Hello, My name is Hamsini Tikkisetti and I am a Junior in High School. My love for singing began the moment I could make a sound, but my formal training started in eighth grade. While I have always loved music, I discovered my true passion in jazz—where every note makes my heart soar. Musical theatre and storytelling fuel my artistic soul, and I am grateful to bring these passions to life both at my school and as a member of the pre-professional program Young Artists of America.
Beyond musical theatre, I have a deep appreciation for opera, and in the summer of 2024, I had the incredible opportunity to study Voice/Opera at the Interlochen Summer Arts Camp. These experiences have shaped me not just as a performer but as an artist who breathes through music. For me, music is more than an art form—it is the rhythm of my life, my voice, and my story.
