Indian-origin British singer Anoushka Shankar made waves at the 67th Grammy Awards, stepping onto one of the world’s most prestigious stages as a presenter.
This moment was more than just an honour, it was a testament to her ever-expanding influence and the indelible mark she left on Indian classical and contemporary music.
Beyond presenting, Anoushka proudly represented India as a two-time nominee, earning her 10th and 11th Grammy nods for Chapter II: How Dark It Is Before Dawn and A Rock Somewhere, the latter recognised in the ‘Best Global Music’ Performance category.
Anoushka stunned in a custom Dior gown, completing her look with elegant accessories from Amrapali. Her look was not just about fashion, it was a reflection of her journey as an artist who honours the past while boldly embracing the future. She also took to her Instagram account and shared a series of pictures and wrote "GRAMMY day is here and what a total dream to be dressed in custom @dior." (sic)
While Grammy celebrated her musical brilliance, Anoushka is gearing up for the release of her much-anticipated album, Chapter III: We Return To Light, the latest chapter in her deeply expressive musical trilogy.
Giving music lovers a glimpse of the album, Anoushka dropped Hiraeth, the first single from the album. This year is also very special for Anoushka as she celebrates three decades in music, an illustrious career that has reshaped the presence of Indian classical music on the global stage.
As the buzz elevates for Chapter III: We Return To Light, Anoushka is set to take her music to audiences worldwide. She embarks on a global tour in March 2025, starting in North America, followed by Europe in the summer, before concluding in India later in the year.
