Sangeetha has collaborated with several notable artists, including Sonu Nigam for the Kannada track "Neene Neene", which was later released in Hindi as "Tuhi Tuhi". Her single "Nee Hinga Nodabyada", [2] which she wrote, composed and performed, gained widespread popularity and became one of the most recognisable tracks in the Kannada independent music space.
She has since expanded into other regional music industries, debuting in Telugu with the single "Naa Raju" and in Punjabi with the EP Rise (2023). [3] In 2022, she was featured by YouTube as part of its "Creating for India" campaign, becoming the first artist from Karnataka to receive front-page coverage in major newspapers through the initiative.

Sangeetha is also pursuing a career in acting, with upcoming roles in the Hindi film Red Collar and the 2025 released Kannada feature film Nimitta Matra. [6] [7] She also received positive reviews for her performance in the film from both critics and audiences. [8]
