Find Your World traces singer Vimala Rowe’s remarkable journey, shaped by the experience of having multiple “mothers” before her adoption by white academic parents both lecturers at Leicester University. The music, poetry, and voices that guided her through both joyful and turbulent moments are woven into the show—from Billie Holiday to William Blake—forming its emotional and artistic backbone.
Vimala’s original music draws on a rich tapestry of influences: Jazz and Blues, African and Indian folk traditions, UK Indie, and Soul. Her story spans nine years living in Bangkok, where she became part of Thailand’s first rap band, followed by a year studying North Indian classical vocals in Maharashtra. Returning to England, she spent a period in reflective retreat before emerging as a striking new voice on the jazz scene, where she is now widely celebrated.
