About arroyo

ARROYO is an instrumental music album for seven great rivers of the world.

Shreya Singh conceptualized and composed this music on Yamaha key-board and Synthesizer (Motif XF8). It is a unique fusion of regional music where a particular river flows, and medium & fast paced beats with river water sounds. Each of the seven tracks creates a feeling of an excursion through the river.

Shreya dedicates this work to all of our rivers which shaped the humanity and civilization. Today, our rivers are facing crises and some of the rivers are endangered. It is the responsibility of everyone to save our rivers and protect the water.

ARROYO is not just a collection of music. It is the Global Voice to appreciate our Rivers and protect the Water. Without Rivers and Water, there is no life.

The word “ARROYO” is a synonym for River

Shreya Singh

At the age of 5, my fingers for the first time felt the touch of the keys on a Casio Keyboard. Then in 2006, my family moved from India to China, which was another step moving forward my musical journey when I started composing music on Yamaha Key-board and Synthesizers. I lived an interesting life in Dalian, China for ~10 years at theconfluence of rich cultures.

I am an Electrical and Computer Engineer from Duke University, Durham, US. I have been working in Los Angeles and now, Toronto, Canada. At the same time, I have been actively involved in water and environmental protection activities across the world.

I strongly believe that an early-stage awareness works faster and deeper.

Through my environmental projects in high-school days, I thought of River Water as the global resource which belongs to everyone in the world.

Thus, ARROYO took shape and sound.
