Kamakshi Khanna

Kamakshi Khanna

Kamakshi Khanna is an independent singer-songwriter widely recognized as one of the leading female voices in India’s indie music spectrum. Her music blends pop, R&B/soul, and folk, characterized by her soulful voice and emotive songwriting. Deeply personal, her songs explore themes of love, heartbreak, self-discovery, and introspection. The sincerity of her lyrics and the emotional delivery of her vocals foster an intimate and authentic connection with her audience. 

Having established herself as a unique artist, Kamakshi has performed at major events across the country, including Lollapalooza India, NH7 Weekender, and VH1 Supersonic, among many others. She has also performed with maestros A.R. Rahman and Arijit Singh, and opened for iconic artists such as Sunidhi Chauhan and Lucky Ali. Known for her versatility, she seamlessly transitions between singing and writing in both Hindi and English.

In 2020, she released her first Hindi single, Qareeb,  which received critical acclaim, amassing over 1.8 million views on YouTube and more than a million audio streams across platforms. The song also won Rolling Stone India’s ‘Song of the Year’ award at the second edition of The Indies.

Her work extends far beyond the indie music scene. In 2021, she collaborated with OAFF on the song ‘Duur,’ which was featured in the soundtrack and trailer of Madhuri Dixit’s Netflix show, The Fame Game, as well as Jugaadistan on Lionsgate. Other notable placements include ‘Chhan Chhan’  in Zee5’s Kaun Banega Shikharwati, ‘Tere Jaisa’ in the Netflix series Kota Factory, and ‘Yaadein’ for Amazon Prime’s Modern Love: Mumbai. Kamakshi has also lent her voice to films like Sector 36 (Netflix) and Por (theatrical and Netflix release). Additionally, she has her own unique IP called ‘Green Room Sessions’ on YouTube and Instagram, where she shares stripped-down versions of her unreleased songs, recorded in the intimate setting of her bedroom. The series has amassed over 300K organic views across platforms. 

In March 2023, Kamakshi was named Spotify India’s RADAR Artist, with features at Times Square in New York City and at Camp Nou in Barcelona, one of the world’s largest football stadiums. Kamakshi’s global presence also includes a solo U.S. tour in 2018, with performances across New York, Los Angeles, and Austin.

In 2024, Kamakshi released her sophomore EP, Heartbreak 2020, which received widespread acclaim, earning her a nomination for Best India Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards and a semi-finalist spot at the International Songwriting Competition. Following the release, she embarked on a successful, self-produced seven-city pan-India tour, performing to packed rooms across the country.
