About

My music is my way to connect with something bigger than myself - every concert is a chance to share that spark of bhakti (devotion) and peace. I’m always learning, and I owe a lot to my gurus, Vidushis Ranjani-Gayatri, who've shaped my journey.

Concert Styles I Offer

• Traditional Solo Concerts (Kutcheri):
  The full classical experience, with a mix of energy and depth. If you’re looking for a traditional kutcheri performance, this is it.

• Duet Performances:
  I love singing with other vocalists - the vibe is totally different, more like a musical conversation. Sometimes we pick a theme, like focusing on a composer or just diving into devotional music.

• Devotional Carnatic Bhajan Concert:
  These are all about the spiritual side, filled with bhajans and songs that create a peaceful, immersive space.

Who’s On Stage With Me

A Carnatic concert isn’t a one-person show. My ensemble usually includes violin, mridangam, ghatam or kanjira, and tambura - the full Carnatic music ensemble format. Everyone brings their own magic to the stage.

Beyond Tradition

I also love experimenting - I’ve sung for productions that blend music, dance, and stories, like “Chidambara Rahasyam.” Keeps things fresh and exciting.

Where I Sing

Based in India, mostly around Bangalore, Chennai, and Mumbai, but I do international Carnatic concert tours too. If you want music to travel, I’m up for it!
