## About Carnatic Vocal Concerts

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!

## Meet your expert

[Spoorthi Rao](https://mytribe.in/spoorthirao_)

### My story

Hey, Spoorthi here! Wild to think it's been a decade since Super Singer Junior days. Folks still tell me they watched me grow up on stage—makes me feel all kinds of grateful. Carnatic music is my home, thanks to Ranjani-Gayatri akka-s. Sometimes, magic just happens—like singing bhajans on the street in Udupi, or doing a thillana mid-air for my 18th! Life’s been a mix of kutcheris, skydives, and jamming with friends. Blessed? For sure.

### My work

- **Carnatic Concerts & Fusion Shows**: I do Carnatic vocal concerts—solo, duet, or with my Carnatic fusion band. Also, themed musical storytelling gigs.
- **My Singing Style**: Rooted in Carnatic, but I like to mix it up—expect expressive Carnatic vocals with a twist.
- **Concert Vibes**: Could be a deep, classical evening or a wild fusion night. Depends on the mood and the crowd!
- **Audience**: All are welcome—whether you’re a hardcore rasika or just want a musical night out.
- **Playback Singing**: Just sang 'Manave' for Barroz (Kannada film). First playback, super fun!
