Sudakshina's performances have spanned beyond the US to India, Europe and Canada not only as a traditional Indian vocalist but also as an artist who can effortlessly blend traditional music with experimental jazz, classical and modern pop.
Indian classical/Fusion/Female singer from San Diego, Southern California, trained by Legendary Indian Vocalist Vidushi Lakshmi Shankar (Bharat Ratna Ravi Shankar Lineage) in Patiala Gharana and by Vidushi Poornima Chaudhuri (Benaras Gharana-Vidushi Girija Devi Lineage).She sings primarily Hindusthani Classical, Semi Classical, Bhajans and some experimental music as well.
A multi award winning singer and leading disciple of legendary late Vidushi Lakshmi Shankar and Vidushi Purnima Choudhuri, Sudakshina started singing from the early age of 5.
She has meticulously honed and created a unique singing style that combines the tonal perfection and melodious nature of Patiala Gharana and the rustic and emotional singing of Banaras gharana. Sudakshina is equally versed in singing pure classical as well as thumri, dadra, ghazal, kajri, chaiti that are rich in romantic essence, and bhajans that are rich in devotional qualities and evoke a deep spirituality in the listener.
