About Session Vocalist & Songwriter
Why I Do This
Music is where I feel the most myself - headphones on, hawaayein (winds) outside, lost in my own world. I sing and write because that's how I say the stuff I can't always speak. When I'm in the studio, time just slips away. If my voice or words can make you feel something, that's pretty much the goal.
What I Bring
I work as a professional studio vocalist and songwriter. I put all my energy into finding the right vibe for each project - whether it's a film soundtrack singer job, a pop track, or a cover. Writing lyrics is another big part for me. I love coming up with lines that actually mean something for your melody, and sometimes I mix in Hindi or Kannada to give songs a twist. Like, I added: 'tere liye maine dhoondha hai saara jahaan...' (For you, I searched the whole world) to an English cover because it just felt right.
Languages & Styles
I sing and write in English, Hindi, and Kannada. My voice fits best in:
- Bollywood & Sandalwood film songs
- Pop (English/Hindi)
- Kannada Janapada folk
- Devotional Bhajans
How I Work
I play piano, so I usually mess around with chords while writing. I believe in honest, emotional vocal delivery, not hiding feelings. If you want lyrics or vocals that are real and not just for show, I'm up for it.

My Story
Hey, I’m Anusha. Music’s my escape, like when it’s cloudy and I’m lost in 'hawaayein' (winds) with my headphones. Our home Anugraha is my comfort zone – I celebrate its anniversaries, no shame! My first song for 'Shoshite' had me nervous, but I poured my heart in as singer and lyricist. Still get camera-shy, not always smiling for pics. I’m learning to just be, let music show my real ups and downs.
My Work
Singer-Songwriter & Lyricist - I perform soulful live music, write lyrics, do playback singing for films, and create my own song covers.
My Originals & Emotional Lyric Writing - Wrote and sang for Kannada film 'Shoshite'. My lyrics dig into feelings we hide.
Live Gigs & Impromptu Music Jam - Open mics, big stages, or car jams – I love sharing music, planned or spontaneous.
