Veronica (born Veronica Mehta) is a Hindi/Urdu/English/Punjabi/R'n'B singer based in London, UK. Veronica first came onto the music scene at the age of 16, when she auditioned and won the part of female vocalist for the 2Kool album '2Kool Flavor'. She featured on the track 'Sambhala Hai Meine', and has since gone from strength to strength.

Veronica quit her Art Studies to pursue her dream of a singing career, and teamed up with Rishi Riley (Rishi Rich) to forum VR1, a band and production unit applauded for experimenting with traditional asian music, remixing, and giving vocals an R'n'B twist. VR1 sold more than 50,000 records throughout the UK and Europe, and picked up two Asian Pop Media Awards.

Since VR1, Veronica joined ePark / Urbanstar and released the single 'Girls Gotta Have Fun', with both CD's having various mixes of the title track, as well as the fantastic 'Show me Love'.

Veronica has dropped a few tracks with her new management record company 2Point9, 'Indian Girl' featuring Hard Kaur, and the popular 'U 'n' I (Mere Dil Vich Hai)', from teh Yash Chopra film 'Hum Tum' - a track that Veronica composed.

'U-n-I, Mere Dil vich Hum Tum', a guest track produced by Richi Rich and sung by Veronica and Juggy D, this youthful racy track composed by Veronica herself justifies the money's worth for the album.

Veronica's debut album Theen was released in 2005.
