Who is Dot?

From making waves on Netflix to sharing the stage with one of the world's biggest pop stars, Dot. is truly living the dream. Best known for her lead role in The Archies, she has also lent her voice to songs like Sunoh and Dhishoom Dhishoom in the film.

Music runs in her blood, she is the daughter of Amit Saigal, the founder of Rock Street Journal and a well-known musician. Saigal started the Rock Street Journal music journal and promoted rock music in India. In India's rock music subculture, Saigal was known as "Papa Rock."

Dot. started her musical journey in New Delhi, performing with fellow artists from One World College of Music in a band called Blank. Her passion for music led her to Bangor, UK, where she studied music and creative writing before working as a special education teaching assistant. Living in Wales, with Manchester and Liverpool nearby, gave her the opportunity to engage with the local music scene, attend concerts, and refine her songwriting skills.

In 2017, she caught the indie music world's attention with raw, self-recorded piano tunes, particularly "Everybody Dances to Techno," which marked her breakthrough. While she was born into a musical legacy, her fame truly soared with this track.

She later released her debut EP, Khamotion, where she fully embraced a jazz-infused, retro sound. The record featured layered brass elements, from clarinets and woodwinds to trumpets and saxophones, highlighting her evolving artistry. She is on Instagram under the username 'dotandthesyllables' and has over 61.5K followers.
