Biography
Anoushka Shankar broke a ceiling when she became the first musician of Indian origin to both perform live and serve as a presenter at the Grammy Awards. Born June 9, 1981, in Britain, she's a sitar player and composer of Indian heritage who refuses to stay in one lane. Her first solo album, Anoushka, arrived in 1998 and launched a catalogue of seven studio records spanning classical Indian composition, contemporary material, and electronic experimentation. She's also an actress and writer, and has collaborated across genres—most notably on the full-length album Breathing Under Water with producer Karsh Kale in 2007, and throughout her career with her father, the legendary Ravi Shankar. With fourteen Grammy nominations to her name, Shankar has proven sitar mastery doesn't require genre loyalty. As a Gemini born in early June, her restless curiosity across styles and mediums aligns with classic twin-sign duality. She performs across multiple genres—classical and contemporary, acoustic and electronic—reflecting an occupation that encompasses instrumental virtuosity, composition, and occasional screen and written work. British-American by citizenship, she carries the heritage of Indian classical music into global conversation.
