Multiple award-winning singer and composer Sonam Kalra is that rare breed of musician who has been trained in both Indian and Western traditions of music and is equally adept at both. She has a beautiful, powerful voice with an honesty and sensitivity that is rare. But even more important than that is the fact, that she is a musician with a message. And it is this unique combination of all these qualities, that has taken her to prestigious stages across the world including The Sydney Opera House and MTV’s Coke Studio. Sonam’s unique brainchild, ‘Sonam Kalra & the Sufi Gospel Project’ which blends the many voices of faith through poetry, prayer and music to create one universal voice of faith, has earned her international critical acclaim.
