The Vocalist's Craft: Studio & Soul Sessions
Singing is my safe space, my therapy, and my home. Here is a look at how I hone my craft, the practice behind the performance, and the raw energy that goes into every note.
In the studio, hitting a C#6. My voice is my instrument, and as a vocal coach and a singer, I am constantly exploring its capabilities.
A clip of me practicing a Yebba octave leap. Consistent, structured vocal practice is what allows for spontaneous and playful moments like this.
A one-take vocal cover of 'Shade Of Blue' by Incognito. This song was a test of restraint and dynamic control, a core part of my vocal training philosophy.
In the studio, recording original music for the Adil Manuel Collective. This is where the magic begins, writing and creating fresh, groovy tracks.
A casual moment singing 'I can make it through the rain'. Sometimes, you just have to sing, especially when it's raining. This is my peace.
Vibing with the band during a rehearsal for our Blues Day event. Preparation is key to delivering a tight and powerful performance.
Singing 'Stand By Me' on a rainy morning. The rain always inspires me to sing. This is a simple, acapella moment of joy.
A quick vocal doodling session before my classes start. It's important to play and have fun with your voice.
Singing 'Fly Me to the Moon' acapella. This is one of my favorite warm-up songs; it always feels fresh and helps me get ready for a session.
Doodling to 'Rain' by SWV in the morning. Singing is my therapy and meditation. It's how I find my inner voice.
About The Vocalist's Craft: Studio & Soul Sessions
A lot of people think hitting high notes is just about natural talent, but it’s actually about disciplined, daily habit. Whether I'm recording original music or prepping for a live gig, I keep my sessions real—I even leave in the imperfections. It’s about building a vocal foundation that holds up when you’re on stage, not just when you’re standing in a quiet room.
Behind the Music
My vocal practice is a constant blend of structure and play. When I'm not on stage, I'm usually in the studio dissecting the mechanics of a riff or finding new ways to approach a classic. You’ll often find me 'vocal doodling'—a practice I use to loosen up and explore the limits of my range before a teaching session or a recording.
My Approach to Coaching & Performance
I treat my voice like an instrument that needs constant maintenance. This is why I focus on building strong vocal habits in my coaching students. We don't just 'sing'; we talk about the science, the airflow, and the muscle memory required to pull off something like a Yebba octave leap or the restraint needed for a jazz ballad.
When you hire me for a performance, whether it's a cozy jazz setup or a full party band, you’re getting that same dedication. I don't believe in cookie-cutter sets. I believe in shifting energy to match the room, whether that means a quiet, soulful Bollyjazz set for a dinner, or an R&B funk fest for a crowded dance floor.
What I Bring to the Table
- Vocal Foundation: I focus on mechanics, so you get consistent quality, not just hit-or-miss performance.
- Versatility: From studio sessions and vocal coaching to live stage work, I adapt to the context. I sing in English, Hindi, and more.
- Honest Production: Whether it's a one-take cover or a full band production, I prefer the raw, human feel over over-produced perfection.
If you're ready to explore your own voice or want a vocalist who brings actual heart to the stage, let's talk.
