"My father is my inspiration, my guru," says Singer & Performer Shannon K, Daughter of Kumar Sanu
“It is a matter of great pride and honour that I have learnt my craft from my father,” says Shannon K. She feels that the biggest gift that she got from him as a legacy is his knowledge, his passion and love for music. Remembering her childhood, Shannon said she found her father always available, be it her studies or music. “He has always supported my decisions. Never questioned it. And has always encouraged me to follow my dreams and work hard to turn them into reality,” she adds.
Kumar Sanu has been a pillar of strength to his daughter, who is now an established star globally. Lauding the contribution of her father Shannon K says, "My father has played a great role in shaping my musical ability by adding finesse and polish to it. If anybody else would have been my guru, the learning process would have been a bit slower and it would have been slightly difficult for me to fit into the groove."
Shannon began her U.S. musical journey in 2018 with the release 'A Long Time', a song that was written and produced for Shannon K, by 4X Grammy award winner Jason 'Poo Bear' Boyd.
Shannon has already made a name for herself in the US and got accolades for her anti-bullying song anthem 'Give me your hand'. She has carved her name on the trophy of Hollywood Music In Media Awards for the best original song with a social message.
She has also collaborated with Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam on a fusion song titled OMT, directed by Annabel. Shannon even made her Bollywood debut with the song ‘Tik Tok’, which was produced by Himesh Reshammiya for the movie Happy Hardy and Heer.
Her last song 'I Do' received over 15 million views on all the social media platforms.
