Tina Kundalia
About Me
Welcome to my world—a journey of music, creativity, and endless exploration.
I’m Moumita Kundalia, but many know me as Tina, a girl born in the vibrant city of Kolkata, lovingly called the “City of Joy.” Growing up in this cultural melting pot, where art, music, and conversation flow like the Hooghly River, I discovered my love for creativity and expression. Kolkata wasn’t just my birthplace; it was my first muse.
Raised in a Gujarati Jain family deeply intertwined with Bengali culture, my childhood was a unique blend of traditions, languages, and artistic influences. My early education at La Martiniere for Girls, Kolkata, shaped my curious mind and instilled a love for learning and discipline that carried me through every stage of my life.
From the moment I could hum, music became my first language. My training began with two legendary mentors—Pandit A.T. Kanan and Guruma Malabika Kanan—at the ITC Sangeet Research Academy, where I immersed myself in the world of Indian classical music. Over the years, I achieved the prestigious Sangeet Visharad degree, mastering Classical Vocal, Rabindra Sangeet, and Nazrul Geet.
But I never stopped there. I wanted my music to reach beyond traditions. Whether it’s Hindi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Rajasthani, or even Pakistani songs, I strive to connect with hearts, no matter the language or style.
My Musical Adventures and Global Recognition
At just 14, I found myself standing under the spotlight as a SaReGaMaPa finalist, competing against some of the most talented young artists in India. Little did I know, this was only the beginning of an extraordinary musical journey. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of sharing the stage with legends like Shankar Mahadevan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Sukhwinder Singh, Sunidhi Chauhan, Atif Aslam, and collaborating with the incredible Arko Pravo Mukherjee.
My voice has opened doors to unforgettable moments—performing alongside Bollywood stars such as Preity Zinta, Akshay Kumar, Sushmita Sen, Saif Ali Khan, and Prachi Desai, to name a few. One of the highlights of my career has been releasing numerous albums and singles with the iconic record label T-Series, cementing my place in the industry. (Link to my Featured Playlist).
I’ve been privileged to explore my passion for music on national platforms like Indian Idol (Sony TV), Destination Bollywood (Sony TV/Star Plus), and Channel V Popstars. These experiences not only tested my resilience but also deepened my love for connecting with audiences through music. From live performances to interviews and features on networks such as Star Plus, Sony TV, ITV, Geo TV, and TV Asia, my music has reached hearts across the world.
Since 2005, I’ve performed at hundreds of productions and events globally—from the United States and South America to the United Kingdom, the Mediterranean, and India. These experiences inspired me to launch Tinaz Entertainment, where I lead as the showcase performer with a talented live band. Together, we aim to create transformative musical experiences that elevate the art of music and leave lasting impressions on audiences everywhere.
Beyond the Stage
Music is my soul, but creativity flows in many forms. As a fashion designer from NIFT, I brought my artistic vision to life with TINAZ BOUTIQUE, where each design reflects elegance, individuality, and the art of storytelling.
I also founded Tinaz Entertainment Inc., a platform to share the joy of live music with audiences worldwide. With my incredible band, I’ve performed at thousands of events across the US, South America, Europe, and India, crafting experiences that go beyond music and leave lasting memories.
The Heart Behind It All
Behind the accolades and achievements is a girl with a deep sense of gratitude. My journey has been shaped by the love of my family, the guidance of my mentors, and the countless faces in the audience who’ve smiled, clapped, and connected with my music.
When I’m not singing or designing, you’ll find me cooking Italian or Bengali dishes, reading by the mountainside, or diving into conversations that spark deep thoughts. My life’s philosophy is simple: to create, connect, and contribute—infusing love and passion into every moment.
For me, life is an ever-evolving canvas, and I’m grateful to share this journey with you.
Why This Space?
This is not just a place to learn about me—it’s a window into my world. My hope is that as you scroll through, you’ll discover the passion, vulnerability, and drive that fuel my journey. Perhaps you’ll find something that resonates with you, too.
Thank you for being here. I look forward to sharing my music, my stories, and my soul with you.
Stay curious,
Tina (Moumita) Kundalia
