Aashna - Aashna (1995)

Aashna Patel was a reporter and host on Canada's kiddie channel YTV. Coasting on this bit of fame and a ready-made large young audience, she stepped into the pop music fray with this, her one and only self-titled pop album. It was produced by Canadian pop producer Rich Dodson, and follows closely to the style 'created' by Paula Abdul on her second and third albums: Pure pop, with funky, hip-hoppy and housey elements, and a touch of Indian music thrown in as a nod to her heritage. The lady was undeniably attractive, and her voice, while not super strong a la Abdul, was perfect for pop. Unfortunately her singing career was not hugely embraced by her hoped-for audience, with only minor radio hits in Canada with the singles "A-Ya" and "Not Asking For The World".  As a result, Aashna went back to hosting and reporting for entertainment shows in Canada and the US, and created her own multimedia company, Aazin LLC, with her friend Chirag Amin.
