“I owe my success to my parents and my family who have provided full support to pursue my career in the music world. My teachers too have been a great help. It was music director Vinod Yajamanya who offered me a break in the Telugu film industry and the production house Peoples Media Factory has also been actively promoting me, “says Soma Dutta.
Her biggest hit is the Assamese Folk song which is trending high on the OTT platforms. “My favourite genre is soft melodies and romantic songs and in particular it is Lata Mangeshkarji’s ‘Lag ja gale’ from Woh Kaun Thi. I am highly inspired by this nightingale of India and it is her ‘Man Mohana Bade Jhoothe’ from the film Seema that has mesmerized me. It was picturized on Nutan ji who is the ultimate beauty, that is what I feel.
Among the current generation of singers, according to me it is Shreya Ghosal who is the reigning queen of melody. I have been highly inspired by Lata ji of the past era and Shreya Ghosal among the present day playback singers.”

Whether the song is apt for me or not and I fully bank on him as it is he who instantly gauges the suitability for my voice,” adds Soma.
