Endowed with a voice capable of  expressing intensity and emotion together, enhanced with her striking diction, Ashvini likes to explore new dimensions in music. Her aesthetic approach to the lyrical content and keen sensitivity towards the emotive aspects of a composition give  her performance a universal appeal. Apart from classical singing, she  has equally mastered  semi classical genres like thumri, , dadra,    bhajan etc. Her performances are marked by her command over both rhythm and melody.
