Mumbai, 16th February 2022 (GNI): Kenisha dons many hats. Be it an actor, anchor, musician, or entrepreneur. She does it all. But at heart, she is a musician and she is actually highly trained in western and Hindustani classical music. Music has always been her true calling. She started her vocal training in Western Classical under the very able tutelage of Jennifer D’souza- her first vocal coach. She trained with D’souza for over a year before enrolling herself in the very prestigious, state-of-the-art music academy- True School of Music. There she trained under an international music teacher, Miss. Andrea even performed live with her classmates.
Post this she went on to training in Hindustani Classical music in Gyan Ashram under her Guru Shri Paresh Jana whom she resumed taking personal classes from to fastrack her vocal growth and learn the nitty-gritty of Hindustani classical music in-depth.
She parallelly started her YouTube channel called Kenisha Awasthi Official – where she covered many Hindi and English songs – some of which garnered millions of views. Her cover of the Late Shri Mukesh’s classic Yeh Mera Deewanapan Hai- went viral and crossed 4 million views. Her haunting cover of Jaadu Teri Nazar got featured in many youth magazines and also got picked up by Radio City London where it played quite frequently and was loved by all the listeners. That truly was a path-breaking moment in her musical career and one she sees as something that gave her enormous confidence in her abilities.
As of 2022, Kenisha is all set to further her musical journey with her original singles. This year will see her release at least 5 originals that will have a unique sound and display a perfect fusion of western musical influences concerning the music production but purely Indian style of singing.
Kenisha’s endeavor with her music is to carve a unique sound signature to her and show how Indian vocalists need not necessarily sing in English to display world-class standards of musical prowess. She believes great music is universal, one that cuts through barriers of borders regardless of the language it’s sung in or the nationality of the musician. Melodies and soul are beyond the confines of caste, creed, and country.With this resolve, she looks forward to experimenting with varied genres and collaborating with phenomenal musicians from India and across the world. She looks forward to furthering the musical legacy of her mother, celebrated playback singer Sapna Awasthi- the voice behind iconic hits like -Chaiyya Chaiyya, Pardesi Pardesi, Banno Teri Ankhiyaan, Katiyaan Karoon, etc to name a few.ends
