My Musical Journey and Collaborative Performances

Music is not just a profession for me, it is a way to give back what I have received—a philosophy I live by, like 'Kereya Neeranu Kerege Chelli' (giving the lake's water back to the lake). My path began at Bimba in Hanumanthanagar. It was not just about learning notes, it was about understanding that music is a community, a shared experience that includes theatre, dance, and administration.

Today, that foundation shapes how I approach everything—whether I am teaching Carnatic vocal basics to beginners, helping a child overcome stage fear at a summer camp, or performing Konnakol in a live Bharatanatyam ensemble. Collaboration is where the real magic happens. There is a raw, unplanned energy in a spontaneous jam session with fellow artists that you simply cannot manufacture.

That same energy is what I bring to my teaching. I want my students to find that 'kalabhiruchi' (love for the arts) early, in an environment that is warm, open, and free of judgment. If you are looking to explore Carnatic music, dive into the rhythmic world of Konnakol, or collaborate on a performance, let's connect. From private mentorship for professionals to group sessions for kids across Bengaluru, my goal is to keep the rhythm going, together.
