For those unacquainted, Shankar received her first GRAMMY nomination in 2002 in the then-named World Music Category for her album ‘Live at Carnegie Hall,’ thereby becoming the first Indian woman to be nominated and the youngest-ever nominee in that category. In 2005, she became the first Indian musician to perform at the GRAMMYs and later served as Presenter for the Awards in 2016. She has since delivered multiple performances at the event, including one during the lockdown and another last year with Pakistan-origin artist Arooj. Aftab. Over the years, Shankar has earned GRAMMY nominations for her solo albums, including rise (2006), traveler (2013), Traces of You (2015), Home (2016), Land of Gold (2017), Love Letters (2021), and Between Us… (2023).
Beyond the GRAMMY spotlight, 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Anoushka Shankar. She celebrates 30 years of performing while continuing to redefine the boundaries of music. In addition, she will embark on a US tour in March 2025, European tour in the summer, and an India tour in December 2025, supporting the release of her highly-anticipated third Chapter in the series.
