Kiran Ahluwalia is a performer of vocal music. More precisely she is a performer of two distinct styles of vocal music from the Indian subcontinent, now India and Pakistan. Kiran sings ghazals and Punjabi folk songs.
Kiran Ahluwalia was born in the state of Bihar in Northern India to Punjabi parents. The family moved to New Zealand for the first four years of Kiran's life and back to India for another five before coming to Canada where Kiran grew up in Toronto. Kiran spent many years in Bombay, Hyderabad and Punjab studying Indian classical music, ghazals and Punjabi folk songs. In Hydrabad she found Vithal Rao, one of the last living court musicians of the Nizam (King) of Hyderabad. A man of legendary vocal ability and kindness, he is a living link to the centuries old ghazal genre. Ten years after, she returned to Toronto to record her first commercial CD. This CD was nominated for Canada's highest musical honour - the JUNO Award.
Kiran earned a JUNO Award in 2004 for her second CD, BEYOND BOUNDARIES.
