After months of no in-studio recordings and live concerts, singer Kanika Kapoor recently resumed live gigs amid the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. She headlined the Indian act at the Godiva Music Festival in London, United Kingdom before 60,000 music lovers.

Sharing her experience, the singer says, “I hadn’t performed in a year. To go back to the stage made me feel as if I was performing for the first time. The audience was really excited.” The 43-year-old adds, “Apart from my other sets, I did a mashup of all my songs. Indian music with a beat is loved and accepted everywhere.”

In the coming months, Kapoor hopes live concerts would recommence in India, too. She is looking forward to a tour lined up next year. “We’ve started private shows like weddings and parties in the country, but I don’t know when live concerts will start. I’m touring USA and Canada with Guru Randhawa in a few months,” she says.

Having delivered foot-tapping hits like Baby Doll (Ragini MMS 2, 2014), Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan (Roy, 2015) and Desi Look (Ek Paheli Leela, 2015), the singer wants to now focus on melodious numbers. “I’ve been typecast, but it’s going to start changing now, as I’m trying my hand at diverse genres. Romantic songs require me to sing using a different voice and technique,” Kapoor ends.
