About Classical Roots, Modern Sound

I do not just cover songs, I re-compose them for the sitar. Whether it is a lo-fi Bollywood track or a cinematic theme like 'Game of Thrones,' I identify the raga that captures the exact emotional frequency of the original. We then build the live production around that, balancing the acoustic soul of my custom Rikhi Ram instrument with the punch of modern percussion or backing loops to ensure the energy stays right for your crowd.
