By Durga Chakravarty New Delhi, November 20, 2018 : .Kiara Chettri is just 18 and is currently studying for the 12th Board exam.
She is also one of the youngest artists to make it onto the Grammy ballots.
According to her, the musician said she never thought she would be able to say that she had made it on the Grammy ballots.She found it unbelievable that she was even considering it.
Kiara’s orchestral song “Why” has earned her her first Grammy nomination under the highly competitive category of ‘Best Pop Solo Performance.
In a conversation with IANS, Kiara from Delhi-NCR spoke about how she felt after her very first Grammy submission.
She stated that she was “truly amazed, to be truthful, it’s unbelievable!” It was something I had never imagined that I would ever be able to say, “I have made it to Grammys ballots!” Every year, I look at the Grammys and every now and again something similar happens.it’s just too cool!”
Kiara said that she was truly thankful for the support and love she received throughout the years and called it her “greatest achievement”.
I’ll never express my happiness in a way that is adequate.”Why” is a song I love and it makes me happy.”Regardless of the future, all I can do is say that I am just happy to have achieved what I have.As an independent artist, I’m thrilled that my music made it on to the Grammy ballots,” she said.
Kiara started releasing songs at the age of 15 When did she feel that music was her true calling?
My mentality is that I think mentally.The day I had my first single released, I set myself up to believe this was it.I must continue having the same discipline and enthusiasm for my art.This mindset is what drives me to continue working hard, no matter the outcome.
At the tender age of 15, Kiara released the maiden song ‘You’ll See’.
