Biography

Soma Chhaya became interested in singing at the age of ten, but held off on pursuing a career due to intense stage fright. "I grew up with stage fright, to the point where I’d run off the stage crying. So acting came a lot easier because I just had to stand there and talk, I didn’t even have to be myself."[1] She began to pursue acting "by accident" as a way of getting comfortable with being in front of people. She ultimately found the craft invigorating and credits it to helping her career.[2] Chhaya's career took off when she was cast as Goldi Nahir in Degrassi: Next Class. She found the character interesting in that it taught her about feminism. After her stint on the show, she continued to stay in contact with her co-stars. She joined the cast of the animated film The Breadwinner which connected with Chhaya due to her grandmother having gone through a similar situation as the main character of the film.[3] She is set to play the lead role of Selene in the new film Clan of the Vein which will begin filming mid 2020.

Chhaya decided to try her hand at music again in 2016 and joined Canada's Music Incubator.[2][3] She has since released 13 singles most of which she was involved with both writing and producing as well as directing videos for those singles.[4]

In 2021, she started using the name Baby Brat for her music career. She approached her re-branding by having her new musical identity, Baby Brat, poison herself in her latest single and music video titled The Death Of Soma Chhaya.[5] Her first single as Baby Brat is set to debut in October 2021.[6] She describes her Baby Brat music as a hard hitting hyper-pop sound with satirical, theatrical and brash lyrics.[5]
