Profile

Neha Katdare Deshpande, a brilliant, clear and sonorous voice groomed with the best classical taleem and nurtured with intense Riyaz … a talented vocalist in the field of classical music! Neha Katdare Deshpande, a striking name in the arena of Indian classical music, reminisces her memories of the grand TV show. Love what you do and DO what you love! This exactly has always been Neha’s motto.

 

Gayaki

Neha Katdare Deshpande is a versatile singer. She has mastery over both classical and semi-classical forms of singing. Her bold, clear voice, brings life to each type of music that she sings. Uttar Hindustani khayal Gayaki, Natyasangeet, Semi-classical forms and light music based on classical are some of the gems in her kitty. A strong and forceful rendition of classical and semi-classical singing is Neha’s identity.
Neha does not sing specific type of music of any specific gharana. Her gurus Aparna tai taught her the Gwalior-Jaipur style and Pt. Vijay Koparkar, who learnt from Pt. Vasantrao Deshpande and Pt. Jitendra Abhisheki, synthesized the two styles and created his own style. He never forced any student to adopt any specific style and in fact encouraged them to develop their own distinct style. Hailing from this tutelage, Neha has her own style of singing. Each student has his own speciality in spite of learning from the same guru.
