Akshita Mengi

About

For me, music is where I drop all pretense and let my real self out. Every gig is a chance to share a piece of my life—sometimes messy, sometimes healing. I want people to feel like they've found a friend in the crowd. Like they say, Kuch logo ke sath sirf waqt bitane se sab kuch theek hojata hai (Some people just make everything better by being there). That's the vibe I try to bring.

The Experience

I talk, I sing, I listen. My shows aren’t just about hitting the right notes—they’re about swapping stories and making memories together. You’ll definitely get nudged to sing along. Depending on the crowd and space:

• Dreamy & cozy for those intimate live music sessions, where it’s just me, my guitar, and honest conversations.
• Full-on energy for bigger scenes, where we all lose ourselves in the music.

Setup Options

• Solo acoustic sets: Me and my guitar, perfect for a chilled-out vibe—think cafes or private parties.
• Duo/trio: Add a guitarist or percussion for a richer sound, still super personal.
• Full band: For weddings, college fests, or anywhere you want everyone on their feet.

What I Play

My setlist mixes my own originals (like "MAIN AUR TU" and "Jigre") with covers—Bollywood hits, English pop, and indie tracks. I love making each song feel personal, whether it's a classic or something new.

Where I’ve Played

Based in Mumbai and Jammu, I’ve played everywhere from small cafes to massive college festivals. Opened for artists like Anuv Jain, and performed at places like Antisocial (Mumbai) and Fandom (Bangalore). Every show is a new story.
