Shilpa’s musical foundation was laid as a child in Mumbai when she learnt Hindustani classical music under Pdt. D V Jadhav. Throughout her school and college years, she performed in numerous classical and light vocal concerts and competitions. Just before moving to the US to work as a physical therapist, she had also started making forays into Bollywood by sharing stage, and interacting, with eminent personalities like Sudesh Bhosale and Anu Malik. Shilpa was fortunate to be able to continue with light music performances in the USA and has enjoyed performing with various local groups. She enjoys singing all varieties of light music equally – from semi classical and devotional, to ghazals, to golden oldies as well as latest pop and dance hits.
