Shilpa Joshi: A Rising Independent Artist’s Inspiring Musical Journey

Mumbai (Maahrashtra) [India] September 20: In an industry which is prominently dominated by Bollywood background singers, some independent artists rise to fame while others continue to strive for recognition. Independent Artist Shilpa Joshi stands out charting her own path and whose music journey is capturing the industry’s attention. With her 2017 debut song ‘Pehla Pyaar’, she took her initial step into the industry. She also recorded the female version of the song ‘Hostel’ followed by ‘Channa Ve’. From then on she made a breakthrough with her single ‘Lahore Nachda’, followed by her soulful acoustic song ‘Tenu Dil De Wich’, showcasing her full range of talent with a very prominent label. However, the singer’s journey has been far from easy.

“Born in the district of Solan, Himachal Pradesh, the singer was raised by her father, whom she deeply admires.” Her mother passed away when Shilpa was just 2 years old, leaving her and her elder sister in their father’s care. Tragically, Shilpa also lost her brother in 2014. Excelling in her studies and completing her graduation, Shilpa pursued a job in the corporate world.  But her passion for music couldn’t keep her in the corporate sector for long.

“You can’t stay on a path that’s not meant for you; similarly, the corporate world couldn’t keep me because my true calling was music,” says Shilpa. She shared that she felt a void while working and could no longer ignore her passion. When she told her father she was considering a career change, he was concerned but remained supportive.
