Songwriter Rupa Marya Juggles Music and Medicine

Singer/songwriter Rupa Marya grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, but her childhood included long stints far away from the U.S. That multi-cultural upbringing is reflected in the music she creates with her band, Rupa and the April Fishes. Rupa prefers to use just her first name in interviews, in part to separate her music from her other profession: practicing medicine at U.C. San Francisco. She stopped by recently to talk with The California Report's Scott Shafer.
