Featured Performances and Musical Highlights
A glimpse into my journey through music, from intimate baithakis and classical concerts to the grand sets of Heeramandi. Here is where I feel most alive.
For me, singing is about 'bhaav', the pure emotion that connects us all. This is a moment of complete surrender to the music during a heartfelt Thumri performance.
On stage is my happy space. Here I am, performing for the Stagecraft Awards, surrounded by the vibrant energy of dancers and a grand production.
I was truly humbled and honoured to receive the Femina Achiever's Award for Excellence in Music. It is music that gives me wings to fly, and I am filled with gratitude for this recognition.
A glimpse into an impromptu 'baithaki' session, where music flows freely. These intimate gatherings are about sharing soulful moments and the pure joy of a spontaneous ghazal or thumri.
An evening to remember, sharing a moment with the legendary maestros Hariharan Ji and Jaspinder Narula Ji. Being in the company of such great artists is always inspiring.
A live performance of one of my songs from the 'Heeramandi' series during a special panel discussion. Bringing the melodies from this beautiful project to a live audience is always a joy.
I am so honoured to perform at iconic festivals like the Jodhpur RIFF. Presenting a special ensemble of classical and Sufi music at the beautiful Mehrangarh Fort is an experience I cherish.
Sharing my thoughts with the media after a performance. It is always a pleasure to talk about my passion for music and the stories behind my songs.
About Featured
For your next event, deciding between a baithak and a full concert changes the entire atmosphere. An acoustic baithak keeps the focus on the subtlety of the thumri and ghazal, which is perfect for smaller gatherings, while a full fusion band setup brings the energy of my Heeramandi projects to larger stages. I often work with hosts to decide which format fits their venue best.
Whether performing for a private gathering or a large-scale festival like Jodhpur RIFF, my approach remains grounded in Indian classical singing. I find that the energy shifts significantly between a traditional baithak, where the focus is on the emotional depth of a ghazal, and a high-energy live fusion show. Clients often ask which fits their venue. If you have a heritage setting, we can adapt the production to match the mood, much like the royal court aesthetic I brought to the Heeramandi series. My work is not just about the performance; it is about the bhaav, or emotion, that bridges the distance between the artist and the audience. I am available for bookings in Mumbai and Kolkata, and I am always happy to discuss how we can tailor the musical ensemble to suit your specific occasion, from solo vocal sessions to full orchestral backing.
