This formidable goal of creating one of the biggest world records ever in singing-songwriting was without doubt a prodigious feat, but achieved seamlessly and with four to her credit, by this extraordinarily blessed person. An interior designer, actor, corporate professional and author with her book She Played In The Dark (2022, AABS Publishing) on the lessons and journey of the thousand days, Swapna was awarded a doctorate (honoris causa) in music from Vinayaka Mission's Research Foundation (Deemed To Be University) in 2022 and Maryland State University in 2024. In 2024 she went on to publish the 1000 children’s songs from the world record challenge in illustrated children’s books – A Children’s Song A Day (Notion Press Publishing) – 5 volumes and 20 sub-volumes, with the songs and karaokes, studio-produced and inset as QR codes.

 

Swapna is a proud mother of two and grandmother of three.

I love music, I believe in the power of music, I consider music a great gift from God. Singing and songwriting have always been my best and favorite expression. I wish that those with this gift could bless the world with it and be blessed by it, such that they don't have to waste their time, energy and passion pursuing other and insignificant things. We will die, but our songs will live after us. - Swapna Abraham
