Biography

Sangeeta Shankar, born on August 12, 1965 in Varanasi, India, is an Indian classical violinist known for her performances of Hindustani classical music and fusion genres. She began her musical journey at the age of 13, accompanying her mother N. Rajam, and gave her debut solo performance at 16. Shankar is renowned for her use of the gayaki ang technique, which mimics the human voice on the violin. Her first album, Sensitive Strains Of Violin, was released in 1989. Throughout her career, she has collaborated with notable artists such as Vishwa Mohan Bhatt and BÃ©la Fleck on the Grammy-nominated album Tabula RasaÄ, and Zakir Hussain on Melody & Rhythm. Shankar's educational contributions include working on Swar Sadhana, a TV series aimed at educating the masses about Indian music, and establishing the Rajam School of Violin. In 2021, she received the Sangeet Natak Academi Award for her work in music education.
