Biography

Shilpa Rao: A Voice That Transcends Borders

With a career spanning more than a decade and a half, playback sensation Shilpa Rao remains one of India’s most versatile and enduring singers. Known for her silky timbre and effortless adaptability, Rao has consistently reinvented herself, staying relevant in a rapidly changing music landscape.

From early hits such as “Javeda Zindagi” (Anwar, 2007) and “Ek Lau” (Aamir, 2008) to recent chart‑toppers like “Besharam Rang” (Pathaan, 2023) and “Rua Rua” (2023), Rao’s discography reads like a roll‑call of Bollywood’s biggest anthems. Her contributions include the title track for Kalank (2019), the energetic “Ghungroo” from War (2019), and “Tere Hawaale” from Laal Singh Chaddha (2022). In 2023 she added “Haan Tum Ho” (Love Aaj Kal) to her list of successes.

Rao’s accolades extend beyond the silver screen. She captured the National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer for the soulful “Chaleya” from Jawan, cementing her status as a powerhouse vocalist. Her global footprint is equally impressive: she became the only Indian artist to perform on Coke Studio Pakistan, and in 2015 she took the stage at the UK’s Glastonbury Festival, a testament to her international appeal.

Collaborations have been a hallmark of Rao’s journey. She has shared the studio with a diverse roster of musicians, including Karsh Kale, Agni, Noori, Anoushka Shankar, The Yellow Diaries, A R Rahman, Pritam, Amit Trivedi and Vishal Shekhar. Each partnership highlights her ability to blend seamlessly with varied genres while infusing her distinctive flair.
