Akriti Kakkar |
Initially, she started off with albums like 'Ek Sapna' and 'Punjabi Pop Dhamaka 2000'. She sang for 'Baby Doll Chapter 2', where her song 'Rangeela Re' became a chart topping remix.
At eighteen years old Akriti released her debut solo remix album called 'A.TEEN' (A for Akriti; TEEN for teenager), featuring the hit track 'Jal Bin Machli' and also featured in the video directed by 'Colosus'. The video depicts a bunch of teenager kids having a blast. The album includes tracks like 'Jal Bin Machhli', 'Dum Maro Dum', 'Boom Boom', 'Ho Jata Hai Kaise Pyar', 'Tum Mile Dil Khile', 'Aao Na Gale Lag Jao Na', 'Come Closer', 'Lara Lappa Lara Lappa', 'Chori Chori Solah Singar' and 'Sheesha Sharab Shabnam'.
Next up her sleeve was an international project with Matter & Sa Re Ga Ma HMV; a movie called 'Barbie & the Magic of Pegasus.'
Another feather in her cap was the extension of her ability as a performer when she became a V. J. and sang for the top music channel ETC.
She has hosted a number of shows namely 'SMS show my song 7575', 'Nautanki Top 9' and a couple of film premieres as well. On-stage performances and collaborations included gigs with the likes of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Shivamani, Jasbir Jassi, KK, Anand Raaj Anand and Bollywood's latest sensation Himesh Reshammiya.
