I am a dedicated and versatile musician with a strong foundation in both Indian and Western classical traditions, performance, and teaching. I recently completed a BA in Music (Western Vocals & Music Production) from Middlesex University, London, and I’m actively seeking opportunities in performance, screen music production, and artist management. I love storytelling and collaboration, and I’ve built experience through private teaching, Carnatic music instruction, and cross-disciplinary projects with filmmakers, dancers, and designers. Over 5+ years as a volunteer and collaborator, I’ve contributed to concerts, recorded backing vocals for albums and ad campaigns, and collaborated on university projects like soundtrack and sound design for screen works.
