About Sonam Kalra :
Sonam Kalra has been trained in Indian Classical and Western music traditions and is equally adept at singing both genres. Sonam has learnt Indian Classical music from Smt. Shubha Mudgal and Pt. Sarathi Chatterjee and has also studied Gospel and Jazz with Ashley Clement in Singapore, as well as classical opera under the noted tenor, Hur Chul Young.
Sonam is known for her powerful yet sensitive voice and ability to blend styles, yet stay true to the music. Her singing reflects the special meaning it holds for her and she brings to it a truth that can move you from deep within, with a freshness and gaiety that are both invigorating and infectious.
A few years ago Sonam conceptualised and developed The Sufi Gospel Project, an effort to blend all the voices of faith, through the use of song, music and the spoken word. Traditional western gospel melds with Indian classical sounds, and Indian spiritual texts are enriched by elements of western poetry to create a sound that touches every soul. Revealing that no matter what the language of the lyrics, or the ethnicity of the sounds, there is but one language, the language of faith. And that is the universal truth. Khusrau blends with Amazing Grace, Kabir shares the stage with Abide with Me and Bulleh Shah’s voice is heard amidst English and Gaelic texts.
Between The Sufi Gospel Project and her rendition of classic ballads and jazz standards, Sonam is fast becoming a familiar voice at prestigious venues and festivals in India and around the world. In 2014 alone, Sonam has sung in the UK, USA, Oman, Kuwait, Lebanon, Tunisia, Mauritius and Egypt, apart from several shows around India.
Some of the prestigious music festivals she has performed at include the Kabir Festival in Bombay, Krishnakriti Festival in Hyderabad, Kalaa Utsavam in Singapore, Shared History in South Africa, The India Show in Toronto, The Jaipur Literary Festival, the Delhi International Arts Festival, the Bengaluru International Arts Festival, The World Sufi Spirit Festival in Nagaur, the Rajasthan International Folk Festival in Jodhpur, The Khushwant Singh Festival in Kasauli and several others. She has performed at the NCPA (Mumbai), the Royal Opera House (Cairo), Nehru Centre (London), the Weaver’s Collective and Anantara (Kolkata), TEDx Talks (New Delhi and Rourkela), Blue Frog (Delhi and Mumbai), Chowdiah Hall (Bengaluru), JT-PAC (Kochi), Neemrana Fort Palace, at Rajiv Gandhi’s Samadhi on his birth anniversary in front of the President, Vice-President, Prime Minister, the Union cabinet, members of the Gandhi family and many others and in cities as diverse as Srinagar, Cochin, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Jaipur and Kasauli. Earlier this year she sang at a concert for peace to commemorate the European Union being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2012. Sonam and the Sufi Gospel Project made their TV debut on “Coke Studio” on MTV.

In January, 2013 the Mail Today newspaper listed Sonam as one of “the 50 creative powerhouses & impresarios who have elevated Delhi from a cultural desert to one of the world’s leading arts capitals”. Elle magazine profiled Sonam in a list of “Transformers : Women Who Own the Future”.
