About

Music is my way to connect with bhakti - not just singing, but really diving into a story or a feeling together. I grew up loving the classic kutcheri vibe, but sometimes a simple concert isn't enough to get to the core of a powerful theme. That’s why I started experimenting with thematic productions. It’s not about tossing a bunch of songs together - it’s about guiding everyone through a real journey, sometimes with a bit of dance, sometimes with a narrator, always with heart.

What Makes These Productions Special

• Each show is a Carnatic storytelling performance, built around one strong, meaningful theme.
• I’ve collaborated with dancers (like Padma Shri Dr. Narthaki Nataraj), narrators, and musicians from all over. Sometimes it’s a big stage, sometimes it’s a cozy hall, sometimes an online series.
• One example, "Chidambara Rahasyam," blended music, narration, and dance to explore Lord Shiva’s story as the cosmic dancer. The crowd was silent, totally drawn in - that’s when you know it’s working.

For All Kinds of Audiences

• These aren’t just for the big festivals or temples. I love small, intimate setups too, like my “Sing with the Stars” sessions where local kids join me on stage. Watching them light up is pure joy.
• Every production is different, but the goal is always the same: to make people feel and explore, together.

If you’re looking for more than a regular concert - maybe a devotional music theater kind of experience, or a collaborative music and dance production - this is for you.
