About Additional Portraits

These aren't just photos; they are the visual extension of the sound I create. Whether I am tracking stems in the studio or performing live, how I present myself matters because it tells the story of the Sitar in 2024. If you are looking for an artist who brings both technical mastery and a distinct brand presence to your project, let's connect and build something real.

My identity as an artist is a constant dialogue between the past and the present. Just as I layer traditional Ragas with trap beats, lo-fi textures, and electronic production, my look mirrors this duality. You will see me in custom traditional pieces that honor my lineage, styled with the kind of modern aesthetic that fits into today's global music scene.

Why Visuals Matter for Your Project

When we work together—whether on a soundtrack, a brand campaign, or a studio production—the visual element is part of the package. It helps define the mood and the audience reach. My work is built on a four-generation foundation of craftsmanship through the Rikhi Ram family, and every portrait, video, or shoot captures that history alongside my personal mission to make the Sitar a global instrument of mental health and connection.

What You Get When You Book

I don't just show up to play. I bring a full production mindset. From setting the right aesthetic for a music video to ensuring the energy is right for a corporate event, I treat every engagement as a collaboration. We define the vibe together, then I translate that into the soundscape and visual presence you need.

  • Modern Fusion: Bringing the Sitar into contemporary genres like Trap and Electronica.
  • Professional Reliability: From initial creative brief to final delivery, we keep communication open and efficient.
  • Global Standard: Whether it is a studio session in New York or a session in India, the quality remains consistent.
