My Story

Music is my first language - I was humming ragas before I could talk, Appa and Amma cheering me on. My first concert? I was this tiny kid more excited for promised ice cream than the stage, and my mom looked ready to bolt! Watching that old clip now, I see love everywhere - Gurus, family, friends. Tyagaraja’s words ring true: ‘Endaro mahaanubhaavulu - Andariki vandanamulu’ (To all the great souls, I bow to thee). Grammy nomination or not, for me, music is love. That’s it.

My Work

Live Concerts, Collaborations & Workshops - I do live band concerts, soulful indie collaborations, studio sessions, and music workshops on Carnatic improvisation.

My Sound - I mix Carnatic roots with Kannada fusion music, jazz, and global styles. People say it’s soul food, warm and comforting.

The 'Vari' Experience - My album ‘Vari’ is all about flow – it’s a live journey, sharing energy with my band and audience.

Music Education - I teach Carnatic music, making it accessible for international audiences and curious new learners.
