The Voice of Sapta Saagaradaache Ello
Lending my voice to the world of Sapta Saagaradaache Ello has been a deeply personal journey. I poured my heart into these tracks, adapting the same melody across Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam.

"Kadalanu," a song that holds a very special place in my heart. I poured all my emotion into this performance.
Here is the Telugu version, "Nuvve Nuvve." Singing in multiple languages for the same melody is a challenge I truly enjoy.
The Malayalam version, "Uyire Uyire." It's amazing how the same tune can carry different feelings with different lyrics.
And here is the Tamil version, "Aruge Aruvi." I am so happy this song reached audiences across South India.

About The Voice of Sapta Saagaradaache Ello
Singing the same melody across multiple languages requires more than just hitting the notes. It demands understanding the specific phonetics and emotional cadence of each language to truly serve the composer's vision. Before I step into the studio, I spend time internalizing the lyrics to ensure the native-level diction that makes the storytelling feel authentic and grounded.
Working on the music for this film with Charan Raj sir was a masterclass in subtlety. When I record, my priority is always to inhabit the character and the scene, rather than just delivering the melody. For 'Kadalanu Kaano Horatiro' and 'Olave Olave', we had to find the precise emotional sweet spot that allowed the song to travel across linguistic borders while remaining true to the original Kannada composition.
My recording process is built on preparation. I always ask for the scratch track at least 48 hours in advance. This allows me to digest the melody and experiment with tonal variations before we even start the clock. In the studio, I welcome guidance from directors and composers because they know the visual context better than anyone. Whether it is a feature film track, a digital single, or a brand jingle, I treat the mic as an extension of the story.
If you are planning a project, I am available for studio sessions in Bengaluru and can travel across Karnataka if required. I bring the same dedication to independent and OTT projects as I do to mainstream cinema, ensuring the final output matches the vision we discussed.

Music isn't just my career, it is how I express everything. Whether I am performing a Hindustani classical raag or lending my voice to a film character, I focus on being honest with every note. I am forever grateful for the training I received from my Guruji, which helps me stay grounded in any studio session.
