Gujarat: Jinal Kapdi Shah, a proud daughter of Bhavnagar, is making waves in the Gujarati music industry. A young and talented singer, she has been mesmerizing audiences with her soulful voice since the age of nine. Music runs in her blood, inherited from her grandfather, Shri Harihar Kapdi, a renowned violinist and the founder of the Saurashtra Sangeet Vidyalaya in Bhavnagar. Carrying forward her family’s rich musical legacy, Jinal has carved a niche for herself in the industry. She has recently been nominated for “Playback Singer of the Year – Female” at the Gujarati Iconic Awards (GIFA) 2024, which will be held on March 8.

Alongside celebrated singers like Manasi Parikh, Bhoomi Trivedi, and Aishwarya Majmudar, Bhavnagar’s very own Jinal is creating a remarkable impact.
Jinal’s musical journey began at a very young age under the guidance of her grandfather. She received training in classical, folk, and devotional music, mastering various styles. Her hard work and dedication paid off when she appeared in ETV’s “Little Super Singer” reality show, where her performances were widely appreciated.
Since then, Jinal has performed in over 2,500 live shows across Bhavnagar and shared the stage with several renowned singers. She has also performed at prestigious private events, including the birthday celebration of Mukesh Ambani’s son, where she sang alongside Parthiv Gohil.
