Shannon K feels that as her guru, her father’s biggest gift has been his legacy, knowledge, passion and love for music.
Remembering her childhood, Shannon said that her father would always make himself available for her and was actively involved in her life. Right from her studies to music,
Kumar Sanu has been a pillar of strength to his daughter who is now an established musician.
“He has always supported my decisions. Never questioned it. Encouraged me to follow my dreams and work hard to turn them into reality,” Shannon said in a statement.
Lauding the contribution of her father towards the music industry, Shannon K added, "My father has played a great role in shaping my musical ability by adding finesse and polish to it. I believe in past-time karma and hence I am privileged to be his daughter. If anybody else was my guru, the communication process would have been a bit slower and it would have been slightly difficult to fit into the groove, which thankfully I did know undergo with my father.”
For the uninitiated, Shannon began her musical journey in the US 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 a lot of 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 best social message (original song). She has also collaborated with Bollywood singer
Sonu Nigam on a fusion song titled ‘OMT’. Shannon made her Bollywood debut with the song ‘Tik Tok’, which was produced by
Himesh Reshammiya for the movie ‘
Happy Hardy
and Heer’.
