Whether it’s a huge rock anthem or a quiet piano moment, I build songs from scratch, starting with just a feeling or an idea. Sometimes it’s dramatic pop, sometimes it’s bare acoustic - always real. ### Your Story, Your Song If you want a song that’s all about your story, I’m here for it. Maybe you’re looking for a bespoke anniversary song, or something special for a birthday. We’ll chat about your vibe, your emotions, and the details you want to capture. I’ll take those pieces and shape them into a track that’s personal and honest. ### How We Collaborate - You tell me your story or what you want to say - I write the lyrics and melody, keeping your input close - I work with my producer in the studio to polish the track - Remote collab is cool too - I’ve worked with artists in India and Australia, so distance isn’t a problem ### My Style I lean into emotional storytelling through music, with gritty, introspective lyrics and themes about resilience. You’ll get a mix of dramatic pop, anthemic rock, or delicate acoustic vibes depending on your mood. ### My Journey I started young - first EP at 14, and since then, over 60 songs in one year for a project. My work’s been picked up by Rolling Stone India, BBC Sounds, and I’m still here, loving every minute. Music is home for me. ## Highlights Browse through Tanya Shanker's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/itstanyashanker/custom-songwriting-composition/featured) - ![This shot from a Rolling Stone feature captures the energy I bring to every live performance.

I’m Tanya, 19, Bangalore girl, singer-songwriter, bit of a bookworm too. My guru Richard’s been my anchor for ages. Music’s kinda my diary - I write about messy love, second choices, and all the wild stuff online. My EP ‘Cyberfantasy’ got a shoutout in Rolling Stone, which still blows my mind. Off-stage, you’ll catch me buried in Sylvia Plath or Voltaire. On stage? I let loose, but it’s all heart. ### My work - **Live Music for Any Event**: I perform solo with my keyboard, as a duet, or with my band for high-energy shows. - **Dramatic Pop & Modern Relationship Songs**: My tracks dive into online love and social media, with a dramatic pop music style. - **Original Event Songwriting**: I can write and perform custom songs, making your event extra personal. - **Raw Acoustic Sets or Full Band**: Want something chill? I do acoustic solo sets. Want a party? My band brings the energy. - **Gigs I Love**: Music festivals, college fests, private events needing a fresh, honest vibe. ## More services from Tanya Shanker - [Live Music for Events](https://mytribe.in/itstanyashanker/live-music-for-events) · ₹18-95K per event (estimate) ## Experts similar to Tanya Shanker on mytribe - [Custom Songwriting by Livia](https://mytribe.in/livdidwhaat/custom-songwriting) · ₹6-20K per song (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Session Vocalist & Songwriter by Anusha Ishwar](https://mytribe.in/anushaishwar/session-vocalist-songwriter) · ₹7-20K per song (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Songwriting & Music Production by Akshita Mengi](https://mytribe.in/akshitamengi7/songwriting-music-production) · ₹25-60K per song (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Session Vocals & Songwriting by Susanna Ben](https://mytribe.in/plingooo/session-vocals-songwriting) · ₹5-15K per song (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Custom Song Recordings by Praharsha Shivakumar](https://mytribe.in/ms.ps_sings/custom-song-recordings) · ₹1,000-3,500 per custom song recording (digital delivery) (estimate) - [Session & Playback Singer by Sakshi](https://mytribe.in/sakshi_jagadeesh/session-playback-singer) · ₹4-15K per song (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Vocal Performance by Soundarya Jayaram](https://mytribe.in/soundaryajayaram/live-vocal-performance) · ₹8-60K per event (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Singer for Events by Panchee](https://mytribe.in/_panchee_/live-singer-for-events) · ₹7-25K per 2-hour set (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Voice-over & Jingle Services by Rajni Shivaram](https://mytribe.in/rajnishivaram/voice-over-jingle-services) · ₹5-25K per project (up to 60 seconds) (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Vocal Performance by Manisha D'souza](https://mytribe.in/manishadsouza/live-vocal-performance) · ₹8-40K per set (1-2 hours) (estimate) · Bengaluru ## Book To book Tanya Shanker, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Custom%20Songwriting%20%26%20Composition%20by%20Tanya%20Shanker.)
