“My name is Priyanka Gajanan and I am a vocalist and a rhythm guitarist. My father is a Caterer and my mother,  a Housewife. I am the only child to my parents. Talking about my singing, it all started with my grandmother. She used to force me to attend Carnatic Classical Singing Classes.  Later, when I was in 9th and 10th standard I had to quit classical singing and focus on my education. After my exams, I finally got my first guitar.

Initially, I used to perform with a couple of bands but now, I am a solo Performer. During my college days, I used to perform and the money I got was sufficient for my canteen expenses. Like everyone ,even I had some restrictions pursuing my passion.  But my father never stopped me from doing anything even if I was late or performing somewhere late at night.
I haven’t participated in any kind of singing reality shows because I personally feel performing in front people is what I like more than performing in front of camera.

Though my parents used to make me do all these recordings for auditions into those singing reality shows, I never thought about it. Initially, I was more into classical singing but I would say I got influenced watching the Disney series. I sing regional and bollywood mostly and also a bit of western.

Speaking about the difficult time I would say the lockdown. Before lockdown, during weekends, I used perform somewhere or the other but due to pandemic all the places where I had given demos got shut down. Subsequently, for 7 to 8 months, I had to sit at home not performing. That’s when one of my friend introduced me to Clubhouse and I was happy that at least there was somebody who was listening.
About my achievements, I had performed twice for She Teams and I was present for the Shoot of Samajavaragamana Song. I also performed at pre-release events of Taxi Wala, Husharu and Suryakantam.

In the forthcoming years, I want to learn music production because I am writing quite a few songs of my own recently and I am searching for the right person to learn and work with.”
