Director M Night's oldest daughter Saleka Shyamalan, 26, had been studying classical piano since she was four years old and was headed toward a conservatory until she discovered the creativity that came with songwriting. Saleka always knew she wanted to be a musician but as a little child, she didn't see herself singing the R&B genre. She is known for her song ‘The Sky Cries’ from the Apple TV+ Original Series ‘Servant’ and is renowned for serving as the opening act for artists such as Summer Walker, Baby Rose, and Boyz II Men. Saleka even attracted attention for her debut song, 'Clarity', which caught listeners' attention with its neo-soulful keys.
Saleka was raised in Philadelphia, where the Shyamalan family still resides today . She mostly spent her daily time with her grandparents and had no intention of leaving for New York or Los Angeles to pursue a profession after seeing how successful her father has been since leaving Philly, as reported by WWD. She studied music and literary arts at Brown University, as reported by Biogryphst. Despite her father's background, she was never drawn to filmmaking growing up but after collaborating with him on the 'Servant' soundtrack she got engrossed into music completely, as per reports.

The two had previously collaborated on M Night's Apple TV Plus series, 'Servant', as reported by Variety. She assisted in the film's direction, and the two got to spend a lot of time together. As the second unit director for the movie 'Old', Ishana was in charge of a crew independent of her father, who was filming the primary interaction between the actors.
Ishana shared an old picture of herself and her father on the 'Lady in the Water' set as children in a post on Instagram in January along with a picture of them working together and wrote wrote, "I grew up on sets, watching over my dads shoulder as he directed. For the first time it went the other way around." She further added, "First photo taken in 2006 on the set of Lady in the Water. Second photo taken in 2020 by @kourkounis on the set of @servantofficial for my first episode. ~Ahhh the cyclicality of life."

The birthdate of Shivani, who was born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, is unclear. Shivani undoubtedly has fond memories of her childhood, which she had with her two older siblings, Ishana and Saleka, as per reports.
