Vienna-based singer, performer and songwriter Ani.D crafts a raw, dynamic and deeply soulful sound, driven by an immeasurable love for people, life and celebration. He lives inside the groove of every song, moving effortlessly through its pockets with a delivery that is both electrifying and profoundly wholesome.
With heavy influences from legends like Chaka Khan, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, James Brown, Al Green and Maxwell, Ani shapes every syllable with intention, shifting from an intimate whisper to a thundering growl. His unique tone, crystal-clear yet warm and embracing, is rooted in his Indian heritage through Hindustani Classical Music and years of singing Gospel in church since early childhood.
Limitless, uninhibited expression, an open heart and a deep desire to reach people beyond genre or background fuel Ani.D’s passion for music. He steps on stage to make every listener feel seen, loved and celebrated, creating performances that connect, uplift and stay with you long after the last note has faded.
“Expressing the finest details and undertones of life through music, and being a beacon of Love, Light and Authenticity is my life’s purpose.”
