Amrita Vijayaraghavan was raised in Oregonian suburbs which, at the time, were a lot more "I, Tonya" and a lot less "Portlandia." She spent a transplanted adolescence outside of Cleveland, where her first paid job was playing violin under a 25-foot animatronic Jesus at an evangelical megachurch.

After graduating from Amherst College, she worked in New York City as a classical music agent, venue manager, festival producer, stage manager, technical director, live-event curator and producer, and the managing director of a progressive startup opera company. As part of duo Vijay & Stephens, she now creates original scripted works for television, and writes, produces, and directs a variety of live, written, and recorded projects.
