Nihira is what you would call a natural musician - singing comes to her with ease, and over the years she's been pushing herself to newer challenges and breakthroughs. She's an excellent Marathi and Hindi vocalist, having sung with the likes of Arijit Singh! Some of the more musically inclined might recognize her from "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa", where she was adored all over India and took the stage by a storm whenever she sang. Currently an independent artist residing in Germany, Nihira has turned her innate talent from a hobby to a passionate career! She now dabbles in different languages and styles, including Spanish, German and Latin music - we weren't kidding when we said she pushes herself to newer heights. A few years ago, Nihira was a Maharashtra State award nominee. Also her song, Nirmohiya was nominated in the Best Adult contemporary song category in the American Independent music awards in 2020. In recent times, her debut album Trishna bagged "Best Artist" (Hindustani Classical) and "Best Album of the Year" awards at CMA Clef Awards. She now represents India on a global stage in festivals as a cultural ambassador for India, and beyond all, she's a heck of a conversationalist.
