A Look Behind the Vibe with Manisha D'souza

Behind every setlist, there is a lot of work. When I am not on stage, I am scouring for tracks, customizing playlists, or getting my costume ready if the party has a specific theme. My music journey is deeply personal. I draw on my R&B and soul influences, like Alicia Keys or Aurora, to craft sets that shift from chill acoustic brunches to high-octane festival stages. It is about reading the room. I love the technical side of things too, from managing sound setups to collaborating with musicians like guitarists or percussionists to get that full, rich sound. Whether I am hosting a karaoke session where I turn bathroom singers into stars or DJ-ing a festival, the goal is always the same. I want everyone to stop worrying about how they look and just be part of the moment. My Coorgi roots keep me grounded, while my love for the stage keeps me wanting to play louder. If you are planning an event in Namma Bengaluru or anywhere else, let us talk about the kind of energy you want to build.
