Indie singer-songwriter Kamakshi Rai releases her first independent music video
Mumbai based singer-songwriter Kamakshi Rai releases her first independent music video ‘Thodi Si Dua’ by Merchant Records. A perfect blend of Hindi and English Indie Pop music, Kamakshi has sung, written and also composed it. The music video has been shot in Kolkata on an open terrace and features the artists’ family and friends. “I wrote the song way back in 2013 as an English song. Since I have always enjoyed Bollywood movies and Hindi pop music, I thought, why not, and brought Garima Obrah on board to write with me”, says Kamakshi whose recent song ‘It’s All Good’ with Amit Mishra has been highly appreciated with over five million views on Youtube. Kamakshi and Music Producer Tallz worked on a few covers together and have several more songs in the pipeline.
Kamakshi Rai is a playback singer, songwriter and actor. She made her debut in the music business as runner up on season 1 of The Stage, India’s only English music talent hunt. Her Bollywood playback debut took place in 2019 with the film ‘Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota’ which won several international awards and critical appreciation.
A multifaceted performer, Kamakshi played the lead in Wizcraft’s Bollywood themed musical theatre production, “Balle Balle,” and in Rahul Da Cunha, Bugs Bhargava and Nadir Khan’s “Sing India Sing,” by Fountainhead/Oranjuice. An MBA with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, Kamakshi runs a homegrown business consultancy, and also sings, records voiceovers, and writes lyrics for TV commercials.
