Jonita Gandhi

Music sensation of the month.

Her beauty lies in her voice, an enchanting charisma that sets her apart. Jonita Gandhi is an Indo-Canadian singer who embarked on her journey with a bundle of dreams that she’s achieving one melody at a time. Engaging in a fun-filled and real conversation with Smriti Raizada, Jonita talks about her inspiration and how music has been a life-changer.

ex: Hi Jonita! You had your first stage performance at the age of 4. How has your childhood shaped the life you’re living today?

JONITA: When I was a child, I was too shy to sing in public. I used to dance and sing around the house when I thought no one was paying attention to me! It was my dad who caught me a couple of times and realized there’s something musical in me that needed to be brought out. Over the years, encouragement from my parents and family friends helped give me the confidence to keep practicing and honing a skill that I later realized I am really passionate about.

ex:: Who inspired you to start your Youtube journey?

My friends in University would often suggest that I put videos of myself singing on the internet and just see what happens. Initially, I was uploading covers that I made of myself singing into my phone in my basement or my dorm room at University. I didn’t start with a plan or a goal but when I collaborated with Aakash Gandhi and Sahil Khan for a cover of Pani Da Rang, the video went viral and that’s when I started to understand the potential of YouTube.
