Kamakshi Rai

Mumbai-based vocalist Kamakshi Rai is a powerhouse talent who seamlessly bridges the worlds of indie-pop and mainstream playback. After rising to prominence as the runner-up on the debut season of The Stage (India’s premier English music talent hunt), she has evolved into one of the most versatile voices in India's contemporary music scene.

The years 2024–2025 were transformative for her career. In 2025, she won Nexa Music Season 3, handpicked by A.R. Rahman to release her soul-stirring single, Ghosts. Her cinematic reach expanded in 2024 as the Hindi singing voice of Sarabi in Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King, where she performed alongside legends like Shah Rukh Khan and Shaan.

A magnetic live performer, Kamakshi made waves at Lollapalooza India 2025, collaborating with global EDM star Zedd before opening the Nexa Stage with her original set. Her theatrical prowess is equally storied; she has headlined major productions like Balle Balle and Sing India Sing, while also touring major concert circuits with playback icon, Shaan.

Beyond the stage, Kamakshi is a prolific force in advertising - recognized widely as the "voice of Tanishq” - and a multilingual talent dubbed in 13 languages. From her Bollywood debut in Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota to chart-topping indie singles like Thodi Si Dua and Aasman, Kamakshi continues to redefine Indian artistry with her signature sultry vocals and dynamic stage presence.
