Kamakshi Khanna
Kamakshi Khanna is a Delhi-based singer/songwriter whose music draws inspiration from diverse influences. Ranging from RnB and Soul to Pop and Indie Folk, her journey is one of conscious reinvention. An overthinker and daydreamer, most of Kamakshi’s ideas come from sudden spurts of introspection inspired by her lived experiences and her tendency to attach emotional depth to the mundane. For a lot of her listeners, her music embodies strength in vulnerability and her songs are earworms for solitude and reflection.
