About

Music isn’t just my job, it’s the way I live. Sangeetha is everything – it’s how I connect, how I give back. As my gurus taught me, 'Kereya Neeranu Kerege Chelli' (Give the lake's water back to the lake) is what I try to do every time I sing. When I’m on stage, tumba khushi padtini (I feel so happy), because sharing music means everything.

What I Offer Live

I bring my voice to all kinds of events - from full Carnatic concerts to intimate ghazal nights. Connecting with the feeling behind each song is the goal, whether it’s a heavy classical piece or something light and devotional.

• Carnatic concert vocalist: I perform classical kacheris, mostly with violin and mridangam. If you need Bharatanatyam vocal support, I’ve done arangetrams, group productions, and solo recitals. I love singing for dance, especially with live orchestras.

• Devotional music live: Singing bhajans at temple festivals, like Ramanavami or Shivarathri, is close to my heart. Sometimes I join Nagar Sankeertans (musical processions) too.

• Ghazal performance on stage: I enjoy singing ghazals for smaller gatherings. There’s something special about the intimacy.

• Konnakol vocal percussion: I add rhythm to live dance with konnakol - vocal percussion patterns that lift the energy of the whole show.

Collaboration & Travel

Working with dancers, fellow musicians, and gurus is the best part. I’m part of The Art Quartet - we mix vocals, dance, mridangam, and flute for something different. I’m based in Bengaluru but I travel wherever music calls, from India to the US. If you want a performance that’s honest and rooted, I’m ready.
