The story of Raksha Shrivastava becoming a singer is interesting. Raksha, who was very fond of singing since childhood, did not have any music lover in her family. Father was a police officer and there was absolutely no musical atmosphere in the house, due to which she did not get a chance to learn music. The family wanted her to become an IAS IPS officer due to being good at studies. When she did not get a chance to learn singing even after insisting, then Raksha, who lived in Bhopal, took up music as a subject in college. Slowly she started learning music and due to her natural talent, she started progressing quickly. She received training from Ustad Sarwat Hussain Khan. Raksha's grasp of Urdu language and interest in literature boosted her singing, but fate took a turn, when she came to Indore after being transferred, then the atmosphere of ghazals in Indore city was negligible.
Despite a lot of effort, music as a career did not bloom and Raksha had to look for another career option. Due to her attractive personality, sharp mind, hardworking and quick learning skills, Raksha got success in the media.
She was a senior journalist of Madhya Pradesh for 15 years, but she used to love music and ghazals. The era of Covid came after 15 years of exile. Everything was closed, then again Raksha started doing riyaaz and sharing her songs on social media.
When music composer Rajeev Mahavir heard Raksha's voice, Rajeev inspired Raksha to start singing again. The family supported and Raksha left everything and decided to join music and came to the city of Mumbai.
Today the result of that penance, dedication and passion is in front of everyone. Raksha's debut album "Manzil - A Musical Journey" from T-Series was released and it has been a lifetime experience for her.
