Mandeep Dhillon, known for her acting roles in popular shows like Ricky Gervais’s After Life and CSI: Vegas, has taken a new creative turn by releasing her first song, “Roll It Up.” The song, which she describes as personal and deep, is inspired by a near-death experience of a loved one who struggles with addiction and mental health.
Despite her successful acting career, Mandeep has always had a passion for music and sees it as a healing art form. She hopes that her music can resonate with others and provide comfort and healing.
Mandeep, who has diverse musical influences ranging from Bollywood to Afrobeats, feels a strong connection to her British Asian identity, especially after returning to the UK from LA. She believes that representation of diverse voices in the arts is crucial and is grateful for the opportunity to share her story through music.
For those listening to her music for the first time, Mandeep’s message is simple: “Enjoy yourself and allow yourself to feel all emotions, whether it be joy, sadness, or pain. I hope my music makes you feel as human as possible.”
Mandeep’s journey into music may have been intimidating, but she credits her faith in a higher power for guiding her path. With her EP on the horizon, Mandeep is excited to share more of her story and hopes that her music can be a source of healing for others.
