Localturnon Artist - NIMISHA DEB (Singer)

#localturnon: What is the history to your taking up Music? How did it come into being, your journey?

#NimishaDeb: So my mom n nani, they are very good singers and they also wanted me to become a singer. Everyday me and my mom used to practice together. She used to suggest me the songs and I used to learn it so since the age of 3, I started learning music and I am a dancer too. I learned Kathak and Western dance from Jabalpur-my home town. I did my schooling from there and completed my graduation from Pune, post which I shifted to Mumbai for music.

I was a part of X-FACTOR (Sony channel) , was in top 3 mood Indigo (IIT Powai), opened for Mohit chauhan, play-backed in a Marathi movie, won many competitions in all over India, got scholarship at Sajid wajid academy. (smiling)

#localturnon: So who are your favourites/ Icons/ Role Models in the field of music? 

#NimishaDeb: Arijit Singh, Sunidhi Chauhan, Vishal Dadlani, Ash king… I mean there are so many. Actually these people really inspired me a lot. Like Sunidhi Chauhan, she's a power house the way she performs. Her style ,the way she interacts with the audience, I just love her. Arijit, he's all-rounder with that husky voice. Even Ash king with his Western style is amazing.

#localturnon: How do rejuvenate your creative insights / get the adrenalin going?

#NimishaDeb: No matter what, how busy I am with my shows, I make sure that I practice every day because I feel that practice is like a meditation. So the more you practice, the more you will get a good voice texture.

#localturnon: Does your Music carry a message / a theme or a story? If so can you share more on it?

#NimishaDeb: I think every music has a story behind it. I remember for the very first time when I performed in front of 1.5 lakh people, it made me really happy that people still wanted to hear old songs but in different style. So when I performed Intehaan ho gai in blues the people loved it.

#localturnon: Of all the performances you’ve given, which is your favourite one and why?

#NimishaDeb: When I performed in front of 1.5 lakh people I was just living my dream. When I saw so many people shouting “Nimisha, Nimisha” and I was like omg! This is what I always wanted. I got emotional too! It was one of the best feeling ever and a proud moment too.

#localturnon: Do you have any interesting fan stories to tell?

#NimishaDeb: This happened after X factor. I used to stay in Jabalpur that time so me and my cousin went for a movie. I didn't know that people could actually recognize me. So when I came out after the movie, someone from the crowd shouted, “she's Nimisha, X-FACTOR girl”, and I was like omg and then I guess I gave more then 70-80 autographs along with photographs (ha ha). But seriously am so lucky that my fans love me.

#localturnon: Can you share about some funny incident that happened on-stage / during performance / with you or the other artists / stage members?

#NimishaDeb: Yeah, in X-factor, after my performance, Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal were fighting to take me in there team so yeah that was quite funny. (Smiling)

#localturnon: How has the musical journey been so far for you and what are you looking forward to now?

#NimishaDeb: It's been a crazy journey till now I have seen many ups and downs and it has really helped me in many ways. I am now very confident after all the experiences till now. Its going very well and hopefully by God’s grace I will become a playback singer soon.

#localturnon: Do you have any words of advice for youngsters who are thinking of getting into this line?

#NimishaDeb: Most people struggle to create a career in music. They simply don’t know how to get from where they are to where they want to be. In order to create a music career, you’ll have to understand the details and know what to expect. And one more thing - there's so much competition in this industry, you have to be totally different from others. So just be you don't try to copy others style.
