Maanuni Desai

Maanuni Desai’s got this wild, unpredictable energy that just grabs you. She’s not one of those cookie-cutter singers, you know? She’s been all over the place—singing, writing, even coaching other voices. It’s like she’s dipped her toes into every corner of the music and film world. Ever watched Bhediya, Ram Setu, or Simran? Yeah, her voice probably snuck up on you in the background. And those web series—1962: The War in the Hills, for example—she’s been there, too. Not just hidden behind the scenes, either. She’s actually been on stage, and man, people love her for it. Her gigs pull in folks who keep coming back just to see what she’ll do next. She’s jammed with the big guns—Benny Dayal, Ehsaan Noorani, Keba Jeremiah, Karthik Devaraj—no big deal, right? And let’s not forget the composers: Sachin-Jigar, Hitesh Modak, Daniel B George. If you’re into music shows, you might’ve caught her on MTV Colors of Youth or NEXA Music Season 2. AR Rahman himself picked her, which honestly says it all. But she doesn’t just stick to other people’s tunes. Maanuni’s got her own thing going on, dropping indie tracks that actually sound different for a change. She teams up with all kinds of artists and has even worked with music labels like Zee Music. She’s everywhere, really—kind of hard to pin down, but that’s exactly what makes her interesting.
