I perform on the Veena. Its an acoustic and a chordophone instrument from India. Indian classical music reflects on expressing emotions and creating the aesthetic. In my classical music performances based on ragas, I want my listeners to feel uplifted, euphoric, relaxed, healed , peaceful, meditative and enchanted. when presented with proper understanding, this beautiful music can elevate both the performers and the listeners to touch the soul. I am influenced by arabic music,contemporary music, fusion, pop and jazz and i try to blend different elements in my compositions and improvisations. Rhythm also plays an important role in my performances, I will be supported by a power packed percussion artists. I also perform duet along with my daughter Adhithi on the Piano. We create music together. I also provide veena support for dance music orchestration, Bharatnatyam and other light music genres as well. Have good experience performing in musical ensembles too. Now having settled in Canada, I have collaborated with Alysha Brilla for her original song ' Love'. Its a song of Hope for anyone with a heavy heart. Veena perfectly can bring the emotions you need in a song and also Veena sounds close to the human voice which makes it really appealing and soul stirring.
