She performed for the opening number of the Grammy Premiere ceremony.
Her album ‘ A colourful world’ as described by herself caters to
making children recognize how different but united they are, and even
with different backgrounds and colours they call to live together on
planet earth with peace and prosperity. The Album itself has a great
diversity in terms of artists, producers, and musicians.
In the year 2019, Shah was nominated for The Best Children’s Album
category at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards. She created the album for
her four-year-old son Nishaad to help him understand why he is
different from the other children in his pre-school. Her album carried
the essence of diversity and the message of having pride in one’s
identity. Falgunni who was raised in Mumbai moved to the US in the
year 2000 and with much struggle worked with a number of artists such
as Wyclef Jean, Philip Glass, Ricky Martin, Blues Traveler, and YO-YO
Ma. The singer who has performed with AR Rahman at the White House has
also gained training in Jaipuri music and the Banarsi style of Thumri.
