 SAN JOSE, CA: Gauri
Saksena has been singing forever, or at least as far back as
she can remember. Raised in New Delhi, India, Gauri received
early classical training in Gandharva Mahavidyalaya under
Bhaiji (Vinay Chandra Mudgal, who founded Gandharva
Mahavidyalaya, New Delhi's first and most highly reputed
institution for the teaching of Hindustani music and classical
dance). Thereafter, she received training from Savita Devi
(daughter of Smt Siddheshwari Devi). Recently she has started
training under Shubhangi Sakhalkar didi.
Gauri went to
Modern School, Vasant Vihar, where she won many inter-school
competitions. She was also awarded "Nightingale of Modern
School". After winning the inter-state singing competition for
the light singing category, Gauri had an opportunity to
undergo musical training to pursue a career in playback
singing. Tempting as it was at the time, her education took
precedence.
Settled in San Jose, CA, Gauri is
currently the lead singer for a professional Bay Area band
"Dhun". The Band's focus has mainly been doing charity shows
for well reputed foundations like IDRF (The India Development
Relief Fund) and SEF (The Sankara Eye Foundation). Following
her launch, Gauri has done numerous shows in India, which have
received much appreciation.
Now this California based
musical sensation has won instant recognition in Bollywood
with her debut music album "Chane Ke Khet Mein" (launched on
February 24 in Mumbai). The album has received exceptional
media coverage in the prominent TV/news channels and the print
media. Gauri has a sensational voice and the capability to
reach levels of excellence in the celebrated world of music.
