It is hours of sound checks, coordinating with my bandmates, and managing the technical setup that makes a show work. Whether I am prepping for a college festival or an intimate private gig, that focus on the details is how I keep the sound tight and the energy consistent for every audience. What you see on stage is just the tip of the iceberg. Behind the scenes, it is a constant cycle of rehearsals, gear maintenance, and collaborating with my mentor, Richard. When I perform solo, it is all about creating an intimate connection, but when the Moksha All Stars band joins, it is a different beast entirely. We focus heavily on the sound check ritual because that is where we dial in the mix for the specific venue acoustics. I genuinely enjoy the process of tailoring my sets, whether that means pulling out a Queen anthem or playing one of my original indie tracks. For me, connecting with the crowd, whether it is at a busy summit in Bangalore or a quiet gathering, is the best part. I am always juggling logistics, but it is that chaos that makes the final performance feel real. ## About Tanya Shanker I am Tanya, a 19-year-old singer-songwriter from Bangalore who lives for the stage. Whether it is an acoustic set or a full-band blowout, I am all about keeping the music real and the vibes high. My music is my diary, and I would love to share it with you.
