Ghazal Vocalist · Composer · Storyteller
Where every note carries a lifetime of memory
Ghazals, patriotic songs, and film compositions — performed live across India's most cherished stages, carrying 27 years of stories in every note.
The Artist
I grew up singing — really singing — long before I understood what the words meant. My school choir teacher at Kendriya Vidyalaya Hebbal, Smt. Kaveri Sridhar, a Presidential awardee, trained me to sing in twelve languages. She didn't just teach music; she taught me that a voice has a responsibility.
Years in the Indian Army took me across the country and into the high altitudes of the Himalayas — and music came with me. After voluntary retirement, I finally found my music guru and returned to the stage with a different kind of depth. The stories I carry into every performance are not fictional.
Today I perform at venues across Bangalore — including the Prestige Centre of Performing Arts — and have taken my voice to film as a composer and singer. Every note is an attempt to honour the people and places that made me.
