About

Every time I step on stage, it's about sharing something real - songs, stories, and the energy of the crowd. Performing is my way of connecting to my roots and to all of you, whether it's through music, theatre, or a bit of both.

What I Offer

• Big festival concerts with full orchestra - think tabla, flute, guitars, drums, film songs, folk, and a bit of classical thrown in.
• Intimate home kacheri events for those cozy gatherings, where every voice and note feels personal.
• Kannada folk theatrical shows and experimental plays, sometimes mixing languages, music, and poetry.
• Cross-cultural stage performances - I've blended my Kannada vocals with electronic cello in Germany, and worked with artists like Bruce Lee Mani to bring ancient poetry alive with a modern twist.
• Poetry and music evenings, for when you want something soulful and conversational.

My Approach

I’m all about collaboration - or as we say, sangama. Each show is a fresh mix of ideas and people. From researching Bhavageethe and Vachanas to exploring new global sounds, I put a lot of care into making each performance feel authentic and alive.

What To Expect

Shows can be as grand or as small as you want, from a big festival stage to your living room. I’ll always bring the same spirit: real connection, honest music, and stories that stay with you. If you want a performance that feels both rooted and new, that's what I love to do.
