A moment of immense pride for the state of Assam as Sarodee Borah bagged the nomination for the prestigious “Mirchi Music Awards 2020” in the “Upcoming Female Vocalist” of the year category. This is also the first national recognition of its kind for a girl from Assam.
She has been nominated for her song ‘Sapne Jo Bhi’ from the movie Jindegi Tumse
Sarodee Borah‘s musical journey started way back in 2009 in Mumbai as a playback singer. She trained in professional singing at the SaReGaMaPaDhaNiSa Academy by Gajendra Singh under the tutelage of stalwarts like Pt. Maniraj, Ismail Darbar, Abhijit Bhattacharya, Sucheta Bhattacharjee. However, her major break in the ever-evolving and versatile music industry came in the form of a call to perform at the MTV Coke Studio with music directors Ehsaan and Loy (of the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy fame).
Speaking on her achievement, an elated Sarodee Borah said, “I feel very satisfied for finally being acknowledged for my efforts and struggle in the Indian Music Industry. This Mirchi Music Award nomination is a testimony to my parents who has sacrificed a lot to support my journey.”
Her mother Runumi Borah, a social worker from Dibrugarh has been away from home with her for almost a decade to support her during her initial days. Her father, Pradip Borah, a teacher by profession too has always been by her side throughout her days of struggle and learning.
