Mini bio

How it started.

Growing up in Lucknow, Kanika learned classical music from Pandit Ganesh Prasad Mishra. She sang in school competitions, performed as a child artist on All India Radio and joined shows with family friend Anup Jalota. After moving to London, she kept a studio in her garage.

The songs that opened doors.

Her 2012 collaboration “Jugni Ji” with Dr Zeus and Shortie started her recording career. Meet Bros Anjjan then invited her to sing “Baby Doll” for Ragini MMS 2. The 2014 song became her Bollywood breakthrough and earned her the 2015 Filmfare award for female playback singing. “Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan” from Roy and “Da Da Dasse” from Udta Punjab followed.

Building her own catalogue.

With Bajao Records, Kanika has created a home for independent music and emerging talent. Her recent collaborations include “Chaap Tilak” with Alpha P and Ladé and “O Mahiya” with Joeboy, continuing her exploration of Indian melodies alongside African sounds.
