WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF KASTURI NATH SINGH

ARTIST BIO

Kasturi Nath Singh

It started at the age of 7 with dance. I used to learn dance and singing from my mother  Labanya Prabha Nath. My brothers are known instrumentalists and songwriters from whom I learned more about singing and performing. 

Labanya Prabha Nath was the first lady singer from Assam who was recorded by HMV and Megaphone(Kolkata) before Indian Independence. She’s been an inspiration to me. My first solo performance happened when I was 11 years old. I have been singing, dancing and performing since then until I stopped music and dance after I conceived my two lovely sons Vikram and Vishal. I had to sacrifice music for sometime because I was very serious with my motherhood for my two sons who were little. Because I remember how tough it was for our Mother to spend time with us due to her rehearsals and shows. 

I promised myself that when I will become a mother, I will wait for the right time. My belated husband always encouraged me to continue music but I insisted to wait. Slowly with time, I started writing articles based on music, society issues and also stories and poems on local newspapers such as Aamar Oxom, Agnibaan, Progoti and magazines such as Swaroopa, Pubali, Hokhi etc. I collaborated with Santana Baruah and young Mayukh Hazarika(Son of late Jayanta Hazarika) in a compilation produced by Alin Mech called Aideor bulonitey. 

My first book “Progotikhil Jibon, Mon aru Byoktitto” was published on year 2000. The book is based on thoughts of modern human society parallel to mythology and philosophy. 

​

As a singer, songwriter and music composer, i have collaborated with many great musicians in styles of World fusion, Lite songs, Jazz, Progressive Rock and Experimental music like Jimmy Pitts from USA, Andrey Sazonov from Russia, Vishal J.Singh(my younger son) and many more. I mostly sing in style of lite classical, semi classical, traditional assamese, modern assamese, traditional 'borgeet' singing and bhajans. With Bollywood Film 'Mirror Game', released in 2017, i started my career freshly as Film Music Director, in collaboration with my son Vishal J.Singh.

I record audio narration with music of my poetry.
