Shirley Setia is an Indo-Kiwi singer, performer from New Zealand who discovered her passion for music over YouTube. On a whim, when she took part in a contest conducted by Tseries about three years back. The entry was recorded in her bedroom while she was wearing pyjamas. This earned her the sobriquet “Pyjama Popstar” by the New Zealand Herald. ^[1] She was declared as one of the winners from thousands of entries. Amidst the chaotic life of being a student and a part time radio jockey, she started uploading regularly on to YouTube and has since then collaborated with YouTube artists from across US, UK , India and Canada. Three years, 230K subs and 14M views later, she has now moved to Mumbai to pursue her dream of making it big in Bollywood. Forbes magazine's Rob Cain wrote a feature on her and her future goals recently in which he stated that "Bollywood's Next Big Singing Sensation Just Might Be This Tiny Kiwi". ^[2] She was also acknowledged as India's YouTube sensation by the Hindustan Times. ^[3]

Over the years she has performed at Nokia music connects and more recently she performed at the YouTube FanFest in Mumbai in front of a 5000 strong audience with Kurt Hugo Schneider and Arjun.
