Usha Uthup is an Indian pop, filmi, jazz, and playback singer who sang songs in the late 1960s,
1970s and 1980s. "Darling", which she recorded with Rekha Bhardwaj for the film 7 Khoon Maaf,
won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer in 2012.
She studied at St. Agnes High School, Byculla. When she was in school she was thrown out of
music class because she didn't fit in with a voice like hers. But her music teacher recognised
that she had some music in her and would give her clappers or triangles to play. Even though she
was not formally trained in music, she grew up in an atmosphere of music
