## About Live Vocal Performance

### What Sangeetha Means to Me

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.

### My story

Namaskara, Rohit Bhat naanu. Yenappa ivanu, sumnage haadu helthavne antha yochne madthidira? (Wondering why I randomly sing?) Honestly, I never started with formal music training. Bimba in Hanumanthanagar was like family - we learnt everything, not just music. My first real push came when someone told my parents, 'illa, ivanu chennagi haadtane, dayavittu avanige formal training ge serisi' (No, this boy sings well, enroll him for training). Even my siblings found courage on stage thanks to Bimba. Blessed, I am, for this path.

### My work

- **My Services**: I do Carnatic vocal for dance recitals, Bharatanatyam live ensemble, music composition, ghazals, devotional songs, film music coordination, and konnakol.
- **The Live Experience**: Mostly you’ll see me with a group on stage, especially for Bharatanatyam. The blend of vocals, mridangam, violin, flute – pure energy.
- **Music for a Cause**: I try to support lost art forms like Harikatha music revival, joining programs that bring these traditions back.
- **My Process**: Sometimes ideas come fast – like 80 minutes of music in 4 days, just trusting my rhythm and voice.
- **Beyond Classical**: Carnatic is home, but I love ghazal performance Bengaluru style and film songs. AR Rahman, rain, Bengaluru – magic.
