Arjun Anand

About

The sitar is not just my instrument - it's how I express myself and connect with people. Everything I play, whether it's an old raga or a Bollywood melody, comes straight from my heart. I carry my guru's teachings and my Karnataka roots everywhere I perform, and honestly, nothing beats the feeling when the room gets silent and the music takes over.

What I Offer

• I shape my live sitar performances to fit your vibe, be it a classical baithak performance, a grand wedding, or something experimental.
• You’ll find me playing solo, or with a tabla or harmonium, depending on what suits the occasion.

Styles I Play

• Deep, meditative Hindustani ragas for those who want a pure classical experience - perfect for a quiet evening or cultural gathering.
• Contemporary sitar fusion for folks looking for something upbeat and different. I jam with DJs, drummers, even dancers - anything that brings a fresh twist.
• Instrumental Bollywood sitar covers that make popular songs sound both familiar and a little new. Great for sangeets, parties, or when you want to surprise your guests.

Why Book Me

• I travel across India, so location isn't a problem.
• If you have a song list or an event theme, I’m happy to build the set around that.
• To be honest, not every crowd is into classical, and that’s okay - I get that. I shape the set so everyone can connect, no matter their taste.

Music is about sharing a moment. If you want something genuine, rooted in tradition but open to new sounds, I’d love to play for you.
