Hi, I'm SHOHINI!
Singer-songwriter, treble-maker
THE BLUEPRINT TO REWRITE YOUR NARRATIVE
Shohini is an independent singer-songwriter with roots in India and based in Singapore, creating theatrical pop music infused with jazz, funk and rock. Her latest EP blueprint is OUT NOW.
Shohini writes emotive, relatable and hopeful songs about everyday experiences, reminding listeners that they always have the power to choose, no matter what they are going through. Blending lush soundscapes and lyrical depth, her music offers a world of colour and comfort to anyone who has experienced loss, grappled with self-doubt and hopes for healthier relationships with others and themselves.
2026 has been a pivotal year for Shohini’s music starting with her January performance at All Things New 2026 at Esplanade Theatres on the Bay, Singapore. She was selected as one of 10,000 global artists part of Spotify's Fresh Finds Forward program and also won a Top 6 Certificate for Best Pop Song at Global Vima Awards 2026.
Her latest EP blueprint has been recognised for several standout tracks: NO THANKS and chrysalis have received radio play on Singapore's Mediacorp 987FM. NO THANKS was also featured as part of "I Play SG Music", a collaboration between Singapore National Arts Council and transportation service provider SMRT, and is currently being played at 134 transit stations across Singapore.
NO THANKS along with here for you have been featured in Hear65's music video guides for February and May respectively. Shohini's focus track for blueprint, DAY I'LL RECLAIM has also received compliments across the border from Indonesian indie music publication ParaPop. Shohini has also shared her music and artistic journey on live radio interviews on CNA938's "Culture Club" with Melanie Oliveiro and on Your Hope Radio 92.8 FM.
Since first emerging on the music scene in 2022 with her single Day Before a Monday, Shohini has covered a rich and diverse soundscape through a steady stream of releases. In 2024, she released her debut EP Polarity about the duality of life, navigating the contrasting experiences of joy and sorrow, optimism and despair. The following year saw Shohini tease blueprint, the first and title track from her next upcoming body of work, through which she invited her listeners to reflect on building their lives with intention.
Shohini is currently rallying 10 Singapore artists and bands to perform at "Plugged In For Nepal", a fundraiser concert in support of Singapore Red Cross in their disaster relief response for the Nepal Flood victims. Teaming up with Phil Studio and AVI Productions and wearing dual hats of both organiser and performer, she is excited to channel her passion for music and community-focused action into meaningful impact.
Shohini was previously featured in Hear65’s list of “7 rising artists from Singapore to keep an eye on in 2024” and by Expat Living. She has played at multiple venues across Singapore such as Swee Lee, The Blackbird, Blu Jaz, Noise Vault, Saylah Studios, Resurrack and Timbre. Her performances have also helped raise funds to support under-resourced Singaporean youths through her collaboration with Kita, a non-profit where she volunteers as a mentor.
Shohini believes that life is too short and too long to not be fully lived, and hopes her music can be the soundtrack for both strength and celebration for her listeners.
Music
“Shohini’s new single ‘NO THANKS’ is an infectious pop bop packed with groove, grit, and grace. The track throws off the weight of societal expectations and toxic self-doubt in favour of radical self-acceptance. With funk-tinged production and empowering lyrics like “No thanks, I’ll pass on this unfiltered envy,” Shohini invites listeners to reclaim their joy and set boundaries — all while dancing to the beat. Rooted in her personal reckoning with self-doubt and existential dread, 'NO THANKS' offers a catchy reminder that choosing yourself is not just valid — it’s powerful.” - Hidzir Junaini
“Shohini leans into uncomfortable honesty on her new single ‘here for you’, a heartfelt pop track about the struggle of trusting others and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. Written from a deeply personal place, the song explores avoidant tendencies, emotional walls, and the fear of burdening the people around you — all wrapped in an upbeat, playful energy that keeps things light without losing emotional weight. Through candid lyricism and warm, feel-good production, Shohini hopes ‘here for you’ can offer listeners a sense of comfort, connection, and reassurance that they don’t have to carry everything alone.” - Hidzir Junaini
