Choosing Singing Genre – Tips by Piyashi Sengupta

🎤 Why Genre Matters More Than You Think

When I began my musical journey, I sang everything—ghazals, Bollywood, bhajans, even Western pop. While versatility is beautiful, discovering the genre that truly fits your voice and soul can elevate your artistry.

Here are a few thoughts to guide you in finding your musical identity.

🔍 1. Listen to What Resonates

Before trying to sound like someone else, ask yourself:
Which songs do I naturally gravitate toward?
The ones you hum when no one’s watching often hold the answer.

🎶 2. Explore, Then Specialize

Experiment in your early days. Try classical, folk, pop, indie—even a cappella. But once you notice where your voice shines most, focus and develop mastery there.

🎙 3. Match Your Voice Type

Your vocal texture matters. A husky voice might glow in soulful ballads; a high-pitched tone may float beautifully in classical or devotional. Embrace your natural sound.

💃 4. Performance Energy Counts Too

Genre is also about how you perform. Do you love moving with the beat on stage? Pop or Bollywood may be your thing. Prefer still, expressive delivery? Explore ghazals or classical.

🧭 5. Don’t Be Afraid to Evolve

Your genre is not a cage. You can grow, blend styles, or switch paths. Just stay authentic and keep your audience on the journey with you.

🎯 Final Thought

The right genre is like the right stage—it amplifies your truth. Sing what moves you, and the world will feel it too.
