Tanvi, who has sung in 15 different languages including Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese and other Latin languages, told Bernama she was thinking of singing some local songs when she next comes to Malaysia.
The first Indian woman to win a Grammy Awards “Best Song Written for Motion Picture or Other Visual Media” for “Jai Ho” from “Slumdog Millionaire” also hinted that she would be coming back to Malaysia soon to work with local artistes.
“Hopefully, I will come here again and should be working with a couple of local artistes. Hope people like it,” said the 32-year-old singer.
Sharing her experience working with music maestro A R Rahman, Tanvi said working with the Oscar award winner was an amazing experience as she learned about both music and voice modulation.
“He gives you a free hand to try stuff and does not discourage the artiste. In the end, he keeps what he wants eventually, which I think is a brilliant idea. Feel super blessed,” she said.
Tanvi, who also sang “Fanaa” for Bollywood movie “Yuva”, said winning the Grammy award in 2010 was still like a dream for her.
“I had to pinch myself, like what’s going on. I am representing my country. I’m representing women in my country. So, it’s like pressure but still a sweet experience,” she said.
According to Tanvi, she has a band called Tansha.
She is also actively involved in the work of the Cancer Institute and helps with the End Polio campaign of Rotary International.
She has even “donated” her song “Zindagi”, produced by JHawk, to the End Polio campaign album which also features international artistes such as Itzhak Perlman, David Sanborn and Ziggy Marley.
