Siddhant Bhatia’s Grammy Nom Opens Doors For Indian Spiritual Music

MUMBAI- Singer-composer Siddhant Bhatia has shared the significance of the Grammy nomination for his album, ‘Sounds of Kumbh,’ calling it a landmark moment for Indian spiritual music. The artist has earned a nomination at the 68th Grammy Awards in the Best Global Music Album category.

Bhatia highlighted how this international recognition not only celebrates India’s rich cultural heritage but also paves the way for global collaborations.

“The spiritual music space is vibrant today. Everyone is creating devotional, spiritual, and gospel music. It is beautiful. A Grammy nomination is a landmark moment. It tells me that as a musician, I am trusted. This trust will help me reach more people and bring the magic of India to the world,” Siddhant shared with the media.

When asked about his nomination for ‘Sounds of Kumbh,’ Siddhant added, “I want to collaborate with the world and create more music that glorifies our cultural heritage.”

The nominated album, ‘Sounds of Kumbh,’ is a tribute to the Maha Kumbh held in 2025 and is a landmark global music collaboration. As a new-age Indian classical singer and producer, Siddhant Bhatia brought together over 50 Indian and international artists for the project.

Siddhant Bhatia shares the nomination alongside sitarist-composer Anoushka Shankar and the Shakti Band, which is led by Shankar Mahadevan.

Reflecting on working with globally acclaimed artists, including Grammy winners and nominees, Siddhant explained how these experiences shaped his artistry. He likened collaborating with senior musicians to experiencing an Upanishad, where every moment offers a lesson.

He recalled one particular session: “Working with senior artists is like experiencing an Upanishad. Every moment becomes a learning experience. Kala Ramnath, who is my godmother and one of the world’s greatest violinists, sang beautifully during our session. That’s how our track ‘Sangam’ was born—completely unexpected and magical.” (IANS)
