When I work with my band, Urja, we focus on that balance—ensuring the classical discipline stays intact even when we bring in drums or tabla for a contemporary groove. It is not just about playing notes, it is about building a soundscape that feels new yet rooted. Whether we are composing original tracks like 'Crazy 7' or reinterpreting familiar melodies, the process usually starts in the rehearsal room. I value these sessions because they allow us to test arrangements, adjust the dynamics of the sitar to cut through a mix, and ensure the energy is right before we hit the stage or the studio. I have had the joy of collaborating with many talented artists, including my brother Chirag. These partnerships are where I learn the most, as they push me to experiment with different phrasings and timings. I approach every rehearsal with a focus on communication—listening to how the percussion supports the melody and how we can best tell a story through the music. If you are looking to bring a unique, sitar-led fusion sound to your project—whether it is a live concert performance or a studio session recording—my focus is always on making sure the collaboration feels genuine. I am flexible with creative input and always happy to discuss how we can adapt a specific raag or style to fit the vibe of your event or album. ## About Chintan Katti Music is home for me, and sharing it with my brother Chirag and my band Urja is where I feel most alive. I treat every collaboration as a musical conversation, whether we are jamming in a Mumbai studio or prepping for a live show across the country.
