From cozy jazz clubs to special themed evenings, I love stripping back the music for a more personal connection. Let's bring the magic of Carnatic fusion to your space.

A wide view of our performance at The Piano Man jazz club in New Delhi. It was a wonderful opportunity to present our classical fusion music to a different kind of audience in a very cool setting.

About this collection

Unlike my festival setups, these acoustic chamber gigs are designed for spaces where you want the music to be present but not overpowering. We use a 4-piece ensemble with keyboard, acoustic guitar, and percussion, keeping the volume ideal for upscale dinners, lounges, or private celebrations where guests are interacting closely.

When the crowd is smaller, the music needs to breathe. My acoustic fusion sets allow me to strip back the production and focus entirely on the melody and the interplay between instruments. We swap the electric setup for a keyboard, acoustic guitar, and percussion, keeping the volume moderate so guests can enjoy the performance without it drowning out their conversations.

I often get asked if I can tailor the setlist to specific themes. Whether you are hosting a Valentine’s Day special at a lounge, a cultural evening at a museum, or a private milestone celebration, I curate the flow. I enjoy explaining the background of a raga or the meaning behind a composition, which makes the performance an immersive experience rather than just background noise.

Logistically, these setups are straightforward. Because we use a minimal backline and a hybrid acoustic-percussion setup, we can fit into tighter performance spaces—like jazz clubs, art galleries, or banquet halls—without needing the heavy production gear required for a full-scale rock concert. If you have a specific song request or a thematic vision, reach out a week in advance so we can arrange the set perfectly for your audience.
