About Me

I’m Sanjana Kanamarlapudi!

I was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but moved to Singapore when I was five. So my memories of Malaysia are fuzzy, to say the least. However, I remember shopping at the mall every weekend and preschool there. Even though my family and I live in Singapore, we are Indians with deep roots back home. My mother, Sunaina, is from Mumbai, and my dad, Lakshman, is from Vijayawada. I have a big family with cousins, aunts, and uncles that still live in India, and I look forward to visiting them on our regular trips there.

Like any teenage girl, I love K-Pop, music, books, and hanging out with my friends. I’m currently studying at one of the best schools in Singapore, exploring my love for science, math, psychology, and English. I love to sing and draw, so if you don’t find me writing (or reading), I will probably be practising for the choir, learning new choreography, or practising old ones.
