Shreya Lenka, better known by her stage name Sriya, is a rising Indian K-pop artist from Rourkela, Odisha. She was born in 2003 and will turn 22 in 2025. She hails from a middle-class family and was brought up by kind and supportive parents. It is mentioned that her father, Avinash Lenka, is an employee of a private firm. Shreya was very enthusiastic about music and dance from a young age, and her family was always there to encourage her.
Besides Odissi (classical dance), she has been trained in hip-hop, modern, and freestyle dance styles, which have helped her performances become more versatile. While she slowly but surely shifted to western vocal methods, Shreya did not give up her study of Hindustani classical music. After moving to South Korea, she has also learned Korean and is able to speak Odia, Hindi, and English.
Her major success came when she participated in the worldwide audition for the girl group BLACKSWAN held by DR Music. In 2022, among a total of more than 4000 non-Korean candidates, she was one of the finalists who were selected, thus making her the first Indian K-pop breakthrough. Following her South Korean training, which was very intensive and included dance, singing, language, rap, and stage performance, she debuted officially with the group. Her addition to the group was a big deal, a melting pot of K-pop that attracted a lot of media attention globally.
Shreya is deserving of praise because of the factors of her striving, discipline, and being polyvalent. She often insists that her achievement is a direct result of regular practice, which combines Korean pop style with Indian classical methods. She is very active on social media, and apart from that, she is quite popular and known for providing motivation to up-and-coming dancers and singers all over India.
Shreya Lenka has an estimated net worth of around $600k to $800k (roughly ₹5–6 crore) in 2025. Her earnings come from brand partnerships, digital content, endorsements, touring, music videos, and live performances with the group. Professionals prognosticate that her net worth might increase quite substantially in the coming years due to her rising popularity and global presence.
Shreya Lenka represents the global wave of Indian talent that is reshaping the world and inspiring Indian youth to dream bigger and think of careers beyond the usual ones, thus breaking down the barriers. She is still very much focused on expanding her music career and growing her fan base internationally.
