Penaz Masani’s performances have enthralled audiences around the world and has performed extensively at concerts, which have left a riveting impact on the audiences. She also created euphoria and continues to perform and sing leaving one and all spellbound.
Penaz had the famous Gazal exponent Madhurani as her mentor and guide. She was discovered by the legendry composer Jaidev and she proved to be a true blood child prodigy. She has the distinction of having one Platinum and three Gold Discs to her name. Her dedication and commitment to the traditional form of Indian music is highly commendable. She has sung in over dozen languages. She has in a way created a priceless national treasure by way of her contribution to music. The magic in her voice makes the audience listen to her concerts with rapt attentions.
Penaz wonderfully ties the audiences till the last as she explains the meaning of each word of the ghazal through her wonderful gayaki. She is the only women to have achieved an eminent status in a traditionally male-dominated world of Ghazals.
In her career, she has won a number of awards, including the title of ‘Shehzadi Tarunnam’, by the State Government of Uttar Pradesh 1996 and the 11th ‘Kalakar Award’ for ‘Outstanding Contribution to Music’, in 2002. Here on Wednesday, Penaz would spread the magic of her voice in the city of lakes.
