Our Destiny is the brainchild of Vikram Shankar (keyboardist of American progressive bands Redemption and Lux Terminus), whose piano playing on Awakening is paired with the angelic vocals of his partner Lauren Nolan. Awakening showcases the duo’s unique synthesis of genres and stylistic approaches, with emotive progressive rock married to pop, singer-songwriter, alternative and electronic flavors.

Our Destiny released their debut album on June 21st, 2019. Comments Shankar: “When Lauren and I set out to do this project, I somewhat naively assumed she would be the vessel for my emotional identity. It quickly became apparent, however, that I was just as much a conduit for Lauren’s emotions, hopes, and dreams as she was for mine. Awakening is a musical representation of our identities together, and celebrates all that we hold dear: love, friendship, life, and peace.” Read more on Last.fm.
