About Live Music for Events & Venues
What My Music Feels Like
Music is more than sound for me - it's a vibe, a memory, sometimes even a tear or a laugh. I always say, 'Na swaradare neenu akshara' (If I am the melody, you are the word). Every event I play feels like writing a tiny story together.
How I Perform
Usually, it's just me, my voice, and a ukulele or guitar. No heavy beats, just simple acoustic singer for private events. I keep it soft and personal, so your guests can actually talk, listen, and chill. If you want something spiritual, I can bring my flute and devotional songs for wellness sessions and retreats too.
What I Sing
- Kannada songs, my own originals, and Bhavageethe (Kannada emotional poetry) - all aatmiyavaadaddu (very close to my heart).
- Hindi tunes, Bollywood melodies - familiar stuff for family and friends.
- Carnatic classical and chants for spiritual music for wellness events.
Where My Music Works Best
- Intimate live music sessions at birthdays, anniversaries, housewarmings.
- Soulful wedding music performance for ceremonies and receptions.
- Cozy background music for cafes and lounges.
- Gentle tunes for yoga, meditation, and spiritual get-togethers.
Making It Personal
I love chatting with you before the event - tell me what you imagine, what you like, who you're celebrating with. We'll figure out a setlist that matches your vibe. Let's create a mood that's honest, personal, and stays with you.

My Story
Hey, I'm Surabhi. Life for me is a bunch of tiny joys - strumming my ukulele, sipping matcha, scribbling tunes in my journal. Nanna katheyu neene baredu, neene paatrava padede... nanna poornaside. That line sits in my heart and spills into my music. I find magic in simple things - painting, rangoli, sunrises, or a new recipe in my food diary. My songs, like ‘Bhavachitrave’, are just pieces of my life, memories I want to share.
My Work
What I Do - Original music (composition, lyrics, vocals), playback singing, and acoustic live performances.
My Kind of Music - I make Kannada independent music, mostly my own lyrics and tunes, with a touch of contemporary bhavageethe.
How I Work - Each song is a story. I team up with producers, tabla, guitar folks, and video artists to bring it alive.
