A CRICCIETH singer will be on television screens next month in her own documentary which follows her journey from YouTube singer to Bhangra star.

Nesdi Aneirin Jones, 23, is a singer/songwriter and rapper who moved to New Delhi, India, when she was only 17 years old to volunteer as a teacher, and fell in love with the country’s music and culture.

Her debut single London, which is a duet with Money Aujila and was produced by Yo Yo Honey Singh, who are well known in the Indian music scene, went straight to the number one spot on the BBC Asian Network.

She was also crowned Best Newcomer at the UK Bhangra Awards and has recently been signed to VIP Records.

The Cambrian News revealed in October that she would be releasing her documentary in the New Year.

The singer says filming the documentary, which airs on S4C in March, was an overwhelming experience.

She said: “The documentary focuses on my musical path right from the beginning. It’s about developing from being on YouTube to becoming Nesdi Jones.

“It’s been a difficult transition and still a lot of hard work – it’s been difficult and emotional and it will be nice for people to see that,”

The singer, who splits her time between Criccieth and Delhi, said: “I’ve had such a fantastic journey and I have loved visiting India as part of my documentary, I really do have the best of both worlds living in Wales and India.”
