I always coordinate with your event's AV team 30 minutes before the show to ensure the live camera feed and audio cues are perfectly synced. My setup is designed to bring my hands and your guests together. With a professional illuminated lightbox and a high-definition overhead camera, I project every grain of sand live onto a large screen. This allows the entire crowd to witness the story as it unfolds in real time. I have had the honour of performing for the Indian Coast Guard in Porband of the Indian Coast Guard in Porband of the Indian Coast Guard in Porband of the Indianband of the Indianband of the Indian Coast Guard in Porband of the IndianCoast Guard in Porbandar and the Indian Army in places like Jammu and Meerut. These experiences taught me that art is a shared prayer. When a guest, be it a Governor or a student, tells me my work moved them to tears, it confirms that I am on the right path. My partner Kundan and I handle the technical side to ensure the visuals and music are perfectly matched for your venue. Whether you are planning a corporate milestone, a wedding anniversary, or a tribute show, I am here to make sure your audience walks away with a memory that sticks. If you are looking for an artist who pours her heart into every performance, I am happy to help you tell your story. ## About Neha Umak I am Neha Umak, and for me, sand is a way to share stories that touch hearts. Along with my partner Kundan, I travel across India, turning sand into memories. Whether it is a wedding story or a tribute to our soldiers, I bring focus and passion to every show.
