Meet the Winner of the #MusicDilSe Contest Season 1 at Funkaar

She sang without pretense or show off. She had little idea that her simplicity and melodious singing would charm many hearts. Her first participation in Funkaar's #MusicDilSe singing contest won her the very first prize too. For the 12th grade student, Simran Ferwani from Kolkata, it is an incredible victory for which she cannot thank her fans enough. Simran has had no training in classical singing but hails from a family of singers. She finds herself very small in comparison to her mother and grandmother who are trained classical singers. Simran's mother, and her friends have been a strong and constant support to her.

Simran attended some voice modulation workshop for two days and she considers that it has been a great asset to her singing. She is grateful to her guide, Gautam Sir for all his guidance that has proved helpful to her in her singing ventures. Simran plans to take up training in music seriously after her board exams for music is something that "completes her". 

Her experience with Funkaar was amazing. In her own words, her fellow contestants are "blessed with amazing voices" and she has been lucky enough to get more love from her friends and admirers, and that too for a Bengali number. She had sung Tumi Jake Bhalobaso from Praktan. You may listen to the song here - http://www.funkaar.in/challenge/music-dil-se-new/tumi-jakey-bhalobasho-praktan-100

Simran says that her mother tells her that "When you do something that you like, life turns to be much more easy." And that is the reason she could relate so much to the #MusicDilSe contest. It was all about singing from your heart. And that's what she did. She just has one more thing to say "Never stop singing...!!!"

Simran's favorite singers are many - Shreya Ghoshal/Arijit Singh/Bruno Mars/Adam Levine/Michael Jackson /Conor Maynard/John Mayer - the list goes on...!

If given a chance, she would like to sing for Kareena Kapoor. 

Zaalima and Moh Moh Ke Dhaage are her contemporary favorite numbers.

And although she hopes to take up Chartered Accountancy or work in the Human Resources Management, she is sure of one thing - Music will always be a constant.

We wish Simran a very bright future full of music, melody and happiness.

Congratulations!!
