Kiran Gandhi, also known as Madame Gandhi, is an electrofeminist singer, percussionist, and activist. Her debut EP Voices was released in October 2016 and features guest appearances from Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs and Alt-J guitarist Joe Newman. The second installment in the three-part EP series, Visions—released in July 2019—focuses on looking inward to imagine the best version of oneself, the community, and the world. Prior to her solo work, Gandhi drummed with politically-minded rapper/electronic artist M.I.A. and performed for acts such as Krewella, Lizzo, Thievery Corporation, and Kehlani.

Gandhi’s music is rooted in political activism. She studied political science, mathematics, and women’s studies at Georgetown University, where she met and began performing with boundary-pushing, electronic duo Thievery Corporation. In 2015 she ran the London marathon Free Bleeding, a marathon with the purpose of combating stigmas surrounding menstruation in various cultures around the world.

Madame Gandhi earned an MBA from Harvard Business School, served as the first digital analyst at Interscope Records, and was listed in Forbes 30 Under 30 music class of 2019. She tours full time as a musician and public speaker, focusing on fourth-wave feminism and modern gender equality.
