About

I didn’t grow up dreaming of this, but when I started making music, everything just clicked. My happiest days happen on stage, singing for folks who actually want to listen. Each show, I try to be as real and goofy as I am with friends - sometimes a little cringe, always authentic. My first single, ‘Snowflake’, is super close to my heart, and I love mixing my own songs with covers I’m obsessed with.

What I Sing

• Lots of pop and indie pop - think Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams, my own chill originals
• Soulful R&B covers (SZA, Khalid, etc.) for when the vibe needs to slow down and get a little moody
• Classical and opera (yeah, I’m trained, and yes, I’ve done full German opera on stage)
• Sometimes, I can’t resist slipping in a Malayalam or Tamil song - gotta show off my Mallu side

How I Perform

• Acoustic singer for house party or café gigs - just me, my guitar, and some honest music
• Duo shows with another musician for a fuller, acoustic sound
• Full band concert experience for big, dancey events where you want the crowd moving

Where I’ve Played

I’ve sung at music festivals (like Under 25 Summit), headlined venues in Bangalore (Fandom at Gilly’s), and even opened for When Chai Met Toast. Each show is different, but the best part is always connecting with you.

My Little Extra

I’m based in Kochi and Bangalore but can travel for gigs. Don’t be surprised if you hear me say “chakkare” (sweetheart) or throw in a Malayalam/Tamil song just for fun. I want the music to feel like home for everyone in the crowd.
