A Femme Dial is conversations with femme music creators about the journey of creating and takes listeners into their world through the artist selecting two of their own tracks to dive into. This show isn't specifically tied with promo of new music, but it can be, but ultimately we want to pause and listen to the music, find out if there is a story behind it and learn more about the creator along the way. A Femme Dial is about the incredible power of music and how it brings us closer, builds community and ultimately makes this world all the more beautiful.

While being a multidisciplinary artist was never the intention, Vivek Shraya has redefined her artistry is many times. With nearly 20-year music career that never quite took off in the way she wanted, Vivek found other creative avenues to explore that offered her a reminder about what she loved about music while also embracing the unsustainability and gatekeeping aspects of the Canadian music industry. In rewriting what success is she has found her stride by creating in more contexts than just music. It's an incredible artistry that only continues to expand.
