A Multilingual Musical Journey – Singing Across Cultures and Regions

Not every singer can transcend the limits of language and emotion so seamlessly. But Piyashi Sengupta is not just any singer. She is a multilingual Indian singer whose voice has touched hearts across states, cultures, and dialects. Singing in Assamese, Bengali, Hindi, and Marathi, Piyashi has carved a niche for herself as an artist who isn’t defined by boundaries—geographical or musical.

Born in Bengal, Embraced by Many

Piyashi began her musical journey with Bengali songs, staying rooted in the melodies she grew up with. Her very first notable project, Jothor Ekjon, is still remembered fondly by Bengali music lovers. But that was just the beginning. Her talent soon demanded a broader stage, and she responded by embracing new languages with open arms.

Fluent in Feeling, Not Just Words

Over time, she began performing and recording in Assamese, her mother tongue, building a deep connection with Assamese audiences through soulful renditions, especially during Bihu celebrations. Hindi followed next, a natural choice given her presence in Bollywood circles and national shows like Indian Idol and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. Recently, she has been praised for her Marathi performances, adding another layer to her linguistic palette.

How Does She Do It?

While many singers struggle with pronunciation and diction, Piyashi has been praised by mentors and peers alike for her uncanny ability to pick up lyrics in any language within minutes. With years of classical training and real-time performance experience, she adapts quickly, ensuring the essence of each language is preserved in her singing.

It’s not just about hitting the right notes. It’s about understanding the culture, the emotion behind each word, and delivering it with authenticity—a rare skill that Piyashi has mastered with grace.

Songs that Cross Borders

Piyashi’s ability to perform in multiple languages has helped her win hearts across India. Her multilingual edge has brought her recognition not only in her home state of West Bengal but also in Assam, Maharashtra, and the Hindi-speaking heartland.

She continues to receive fan messages in different languages, many of them amazed to find that the voice that moved them is not a native speaker of their mother tongue. That’s the magic of music. And that’s the magic of Piyashi Sengupta.

A Voice for the Nation

As a senior vocal instructor at Ajivasan Studios, Piyashi also trains students from diverse regions. This exposure to a multilingual environment further sharpens her skills and deepens her appreciation for linguistic diversity in music.

She is currently working on multiple projects where her language adaptability is a key asset. With future releases in both regional and national platforms, her journey as a multilingual Indian singer is only expanding.

Final Thoughts

Piyashi Sengupta is a living testament to the idea that music speaks louder than words. And yet, through words—in four Indian languages—she manages to create something truly timeless.
