Kittu Mishra is an upcoming singer with music in heart and soul.

For as long as she can remember, music has always been her passion, and being a musician has always been her dream. Even in her childhood days when all her friends were enjoying themselves playing games, this little girl was seen doing nonsensical things with an old harmonium. Soon, this anomaly was noticed by her parents and by the age of ten, Kittu had my first music teacher.

Kittu started the journey under the tutelage of her first music guru, Ramaprasad Biswas. It was under him that she started getting her elementary lessons in classical music. This continued until the day when she was introduced to the legendary singer Haimanti Sukla - who she affectionately calls Didi (elder sister). Didi took Kittu under her wings and her training continued under Haimanti Shukla's care and guidance. She was a patient and diligent student. She learned with intent and purpose and Didi used to guide her on what she should do and more importantly, how she should go about it. Kittu's training on Indian classical music and Bengali adhunik (contemporary) songs went side by side under her guidance.
