Acoustic Covers & Indie Pop Live Music
Just me, my guitar, and the songs I'm obsessed with. This is my space to practice, experiment, and keep things real.
Of course I had to do a cover of 'august' by Taylor Swift when my class got cancelled. This song is pure magic, and it's one of my favorites to sing.
A moody, purple-lit cover of 'Snooze' by SZA. I love her music, and this is the kind of soulful R&B I enjoy adding to my sets.
A little acoustic cover of 'wildflower' by Billie Eilish. Her songwriting is incredible, and I love interpreting her songs on my guitar.
A late-night cover of '7pm' by Lizzy McAlpine. Her music is so relatable and perfect for those quiet, thoughtful moments.
Trying not to mess up the bridge of 'That's so true' by Gracie Abrams. Her lyrics are so honest, and I love the challenge of her songs.
The urge to sing is strongest when you're a little sick, right? Here's a raspy cover of 'Taste' by Sabrina Carpenter.
A 3 am cover of 'Kill Bill' by SZA. Sometimes you just have to get a song out of your system, no matter the time.
About this collection
These covers are my playground for testing arrangements before bringing them to a live stage. Whether it’s a Taylor Swift bridge or a moody SZA track, I’m constantly tweaking how these sound on just my guitar and voice. If you want a specific mood for your party, we can pick and choose from these styles to make sure it hits the right spot for your crowd.
My approach to live performance is pretty simple: keep it real. When I’m recording these covers from my room, I’m focusing on what makes a song actually connect—the lyrics, the raw emotion, and that acoustic guitar pull. This is exactly the same energy I bring to cafe gigs, house parties, or intimate sundowners in Bangalore and Kochi.
Why Live Acoustic Music?
I’ve found that for smaller gatherings of up to 40 people, you don't need a massive sound setup to have a great time. An acoustic singer-songwriter setup keeps the conversation going while providing that perfect background buzz or sing-along vibe. I cover everything from indie-pop hits to soulful R&B, and yes, if you really want, I’ll throw in some Malayalam tracks too.
What I Bring
For these acoustic sets, I handle the vocals and guitar. I keep the technical requirements low, which makes setup at your venue stress-free. If you're hosting an event, we just need a stable power supply and a high stool. It's that easy.
Ready to Book?
Whether you need a solo acoustic performance or a duo with a lead guitarist/keyboardist for a fuller sound, I’m down. My style isn’t about big, pre-recorded backing tracks or high-pressure performances. It’s about making your event feel personal, fun, and a little bit goofy. If you're looking for live music that feels like a conversation rather than a concert, let's chat.
