Madhushree is still rising...

In the short span of just a few years, Madhushree has risen rapidly to become one of the leading playback singers in the Hindi film industry. She has lent her honeyed voice to almost all the leading actresses of today, including Aishwarya Bachchan, Rani Mukherjee, Preity Zinta and Katrina Kaif among several others.

It was Oscar winner A.R. Rahman who brought her into the limelight with his unforgettable composition, 'Kabhi neem neem kabhi shahad shahad…' in Mani Ratnam's film 'Yuva'.

This song gave Madhushree the kind of recognition which every singer dreams of. Besides becoming one of the most popular songs of that year, it also got her the coveted Sony Stardust Award for the Best Female Playback Singing Sensation. The same song also got her nominated in all the major film awards. In addition, 'Kabhi neem neem…' became a blockbuster even in Tamil and Telugu. After that, there was no looking back for Madhushree.

She then went on to sing for a galaxy of top music directors of the industry like Shankar-Ehsaan- Loy, Rajesh Roshan, Salim-Sulemaan, Pritam, Vishal-Shekhar, M.M. Kreem, Anand-Millind and Sameer Sen and several others, notching up one hit after another.

Once again, it was A. R. Rahman who introduced Madhushree to the Tamil film industry. Thanks to her formidable vocal skills, she made her mark there too, singing not only Tamil, but also Telugu and Kannada songs. Top music directors of the south like Vidya Sagar, Harish Jairaj, Yuvan Shankar, D Imaan, Kartik Raja, Deena, Deva, J Prakash and many others used her musical prowess to its full potential. Expectedly, all Tamil and Telugu songs ranging from Vaaji Vaaji from Sivaji-The Boss to Marudhaani became huge hits in the south.

With her stunning live performances at the World Tour with her mentor A R Rahman, Madhushree created a sensation, enthralling audiences in USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai and back home in India. Her most remarkable performance was at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A., organized by The Philharmonic Orchestra of L.A.

A Gold Medalist Number One

A gold medalist in Indian classical music, Madhushree is an accomplished exponent of the khayal and thumri, two of the most difficult forms of music. Her recent thumri album 'Lagi Lagan', composed by Robby Badal, stood at the top of the chart for seven weeks on Radio Mirchi.

Madhushree also proved her skills as a mentor and co-singer with Sachin Tyagi in the musical reality show 'Jhoom India', in which they bagged the first prize. In another reality show, 'The Performer', Madhushree joined music directors Ravindra Jain and Shravan Rathod as a judge.

From the overwhelming audience response to her band 'Magic M' all over the globe, it is clearly evident that Madhushree is now a name to reckon with in the music world.

Some of her super hit songs include:
‘Yaar Mila Tha’ - Blue,
‘Tum bin bataye..’ - Rang De Basanti,
‘In Lamhon Ke’ - Jodhaa Akhbar,
‘Hum Hain Iss pal yahan..’ - Kisna,
‘Kabhi neem neem..’ – Yuva,
‘Naina milayke..’ – Saathiya,
‘Mahi ve..’ - Kal Ho Na Ho,
’Tumhe aaj maine jo dekha..’ - Kuchh Naa Kaho,
‘Tum mujhe bas yuhi..’ – Aetbaar,
‘Pal pal hai bhari..’ – Swades,
‘Vaaji vaaji..’ – Shivaji The Boss,
