9XM SoundcastE - Episode 4 With Shilpa Rao

Today’s Podcast artist of the week is the award-winning, young singer Shilpa Rao. (Khuda Jaane – Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Meherbaan – Bang Bang, Malang – Dhoom 3, Manmariziyan– Lootera, Bulleya- Ae Dil Hai Mushkil).

It was fantastic to know her as a person, her journey from a jingle artist to a mainstream playback singer, her thoughts & viewpoints on Classical & Folk Music, and the fact that she actually never wanted to be a singer. She credits Sunidhi Chauhan for breaking the conventional, stereotyped brackets for being a mainstream female playback singer.

Join me host Eva Bhatt in the Podcast chat which she did at Shilpa’s aesthetic pad in Andheri. Talking about her inspiring family and how music can become your source of motivation & mental strength. In this podcast, Rao also shares her awe-inspiring personal collection of world music - from Vladimir Horowitz to Ela Fitzgerald to Mehdi Hassan Saab!

Listen to the part where she talks about ‘autotune’ & the common misconceptions around it. There has to be a lot to learn from somebody who has sung for almost every big music composer today – From Vishal-Shekhar, Pritam, Amit Trivedi to A.R. Rahman & Illayaraja.
