Soulful Serenade

Sanah Moidutty, a self proclaimed “foodie” is every bit like you, me and our next door neighbour. When she is not mesmerising the world with her soulful voice, the talented damsel likes to kick it back at home in her pajamas and binge watch everyone’s favourite sitcom ‘Friends’. More often than not she also likes to daydream about Ryan Gosling. Moidutty describes herself as an easy going person. The young singer says “tenacious, goofy, sensitive, determined and family oriented” are adjectives that describe her personality best.

Born to doting parents, Razia and P. Moidutty, Sanah has spent her entire life in Mumbai. One can tell that Sanah’s family is a close-knit one. Her sister Sajitha, is also her stylist. “She is the one who does my styling, makeup and art direction for all my videos”, says Moidutty, clearly beaming with pride. “My mom, Razia is an amazing singer and a fitness enthusiast. My dad has been a Senior Bank Manager at Bank of Baroda”, she adds.

It was Moidutty’s mother who had discovered early on that Sanah had an inherent flair for music. When she was a little child, the ‘Mohenjo Mohenjo’ singer used to trail her mother to her show rehearsals. “I used to understand rhythm and clap along on time. I used to crawl towards the speakers and place my ears on it when songs were played”, the singer shares. This lead Moidutty’s mother to believe that her darling little daughter would someday bloom into a noteworthy singer and enrolled her into singing classes when she was just five years old.
