Later she moved to Los Angeles and became a staff writer for Motown Records. One of her songs "Step By Step" took the winning award at the American Song Festival.

She is also a composer, recording artist, and private music instructor.

Shivani Kumar has performed at hundreds of weddings at the Hilton Turtle Bay Resort over the past eight years. In addition to being an excellent keyboard instrumentalist she is a talented vocalist as well. Over the past eight years we have received numerous compliments on her performances and had zero complaints. I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with her over the years and have found her to be consistently dependable, professional and on time. Shivani also has a pleasant demeanor in interacting with clients and guests which is another welcome attribute.
I highly recommend Shivani Kumar for any special occasion requiring the musical talents of a keyboard instrumentalist and/or vocalist.
Sincerely,
Alison Ching, Catering Manager, Hilton Turtle Bay Resort
