Kamakshi Khanna is a Delhi-based singer\/songwriter whose music draws inspiration from
diverse influences ranging from RnB and Soul to Pop and Indie Folk. Her journey is one of
conscious reinvention as she continues to embrace new styles, and experiment with her sonic
identity. An overthinker and daydreamer, most of Kamakshi\u2019s ideas come from sudden spurts of
introspection inspired by her lived experiences and her tendency to attach emotional depth to
the mundane. For a lot of her listeners, her music embodies strength in vulnerability and her
songs are earworms for solitude and reflection. Having established herself in the Indie music
scene with numerous live performances across the country and collaborations, in 2020
Kamakshi released her first Hindi single, \u2018Qareeb\u2019, a song about a girl who grows and learns to
love herself. Qareeb received widespread critical acclaim with over 1.8M views on YouTube and
1M+ audio streams across platforms. The song also won Rolling Stone India\u2019s \u2018Song Of The
Year\u2019 award in the second edition of \u2018The Indies\u2019.
In 2021, Kamakshi released her single Duur, a collaboration with composer and producer,
Kabeer Kathpalia a.k.a OAFF. The song captures the struggles of a surface level existence and
personifies the feeling of detachment from the world both inside and out. The indie hit recently
also got placed on the soundtrack of Madhuri Dixit\u2019s much awaited digital debut, \u2018The Fame
Game\u2019 on Netflix India. Her other notable stints in the OTT\/film world include \u2018Chhan Chhan\u2019, a
soundtrack in collaboration with composer duo Parekh & Singh part of the Zee 5 series, Kaun
Banega Shikharwati starring Naseerudin Shah, Soha Ali Khan & Lara Dutta and \u2018Tere Jaisa\u2019, a
collaboration with Vaibhav Bundoo heard in the Netflix Series, Kota Factory. She also has
composed and recorded a track for the upcoming Amazon Prime Series, Modern Love: Mumbai.
Apart from her major releases, Kamakshi also runs a unique series on Instagram & Youtube
called Green Room Sessions, where she shares the most initial, and stripped down versions of
her unreleased music. The series has gone on to receive a lot of love from her fans with 300K+
views across all platforms.
Her noteworthy performances include major festivals (NH7 Weekender & Vh1 Supersonic) as
well as intimate concerts (House Concerts, Sofar Sounds). In 2018, she performed a solo US
tour across cities like New York, LA and Austin. She also appeared on Season 1 of India\u2019s first
English singing reality TV show, The Stage, and finished as one of the top 6 contestants<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
