Interactive Storytelling & Music Shows for Kids
Weaving music, puppets, and folk tales into interactive sessions where every child feels seen and heard.
This poster announced the 'Sunny Symphony', the inaugural concert for the Jackfruit 2024 festival. It was my privilege to direct the talented students from Srishti Special Academy in a performance that celebrated inclusion and the joy of music.
Here I am with the incredible young artists of Srishti Special Academy on the day of our 'Sunny Symphony' show. The energy and excitement were wonderful. It was a joy to guide them and watch their confidence shine on stage.

The final bow after a heartwarming concert with the children of Srishti Special Academy. The standing ovation they received was a beautiful acknowledgment of their hard work and talent. I am so proud of every one of them.
I was happy to lend my voice and support to 'Makkala Raaga', a special musical and dance event organized by the NGO Makkala Jagriti. This program brought together over 400 children to showcase their talents and celebrate their dreams.
This is the official music video for the Makkala Jagriti Anthem, a project I was thrilled to be a part of. The song is an uplifting celebration of childhood, empowerment, and the incredible work this organization does to nurture young dreams.
I was honoured to be a lead singer for the Makkala Jagriti Anthem, alongside a group of wonderful artists. This project was a collaborative effort to create a song of hope and encouragement for the children in our communities.
Getting ready for a storytelling session with my special jury member in attendance. I often bring puppets and props to make the stories come alive for the children, creating an engaging and fun experience for them.
Here is the schedule for the Summersault Children's Festival, where I conducted a 'Story Time with Goobe Gogappa' session. Festivals like these are a fantastic opportunity to introduce children to the magic of stories and art.
About Stories & Songs for Every Child
I don’t just perform for children; I build a space for them to participate. Whether it is through a camel puppet, a folk tale in Kannada, or singing together, the goal is to make sure every child—including those with different abilities—feels like part of the story. My sessions are designed to be an informal adda, where imagination leads the way.
For me, storytelling is a dialogue. When I step into a room with children, I am not just a performer; I am a facilitator for their curiosity. My work combines music, puppetry, and theatre to break the barrier between the stage and the audience.
I often use props like puppets or simple everyday objects to bring narratives to life, making abstract concepts or stories easier for younger minds to grasp. My sessions are fully bilingual, flowing between English and Kannada to ensure children are comfortable and engaged, regardless of their background.
Inclusion is at the heart of what I do. Having worked extensively with organizations like the Srishti Special Academy, I have learned that art should adapt to the child, not the other way around. I prepare my sessions to accommodate diverse needs, ensuring every participant has a role, whether they are singing, listening, or simply watching the puppets dance.
When we plan a session for your group, we focus on what fits the age range and the energy of the kids. We might use Bhavageethe for storytelling, or integrate active rhythm-based games. It is about creating a safe, joyous environment where children feel they have the freedom to express themselves, ask questions, and explore their emotions.
Beyond just the fun, these sessions are a way to introduce children to the rhythm of ancient poetry and the richness of our folk heritage. If you are planning an event, be it a small birthday gathering or a school function, let's talk about how we can craft a session that leaves the children inspired and smiling.
