Sitarist and Indian classical vocalist + a bespoke pop song fusion arrangement
UK-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist specialising in sitar and Indian classical vocals. Alongside traditional Indian classical music, I also create fusion arrangements, blending traditional sitar and/ or Indian classical vocals with popular western acoustic music (such as timeless tracks like ‘A thousand years’ by Christina Perri or ‘Perfect’ by Ed Sheeran).
While this crossover is a perfect fit for multicultural celebrations, my performance vibe is universally designed for anyone looking for elegant, sophisticated and atmospheric live music to elevate their day. Whether or not they have a connection to Indian culture, my aim is to provide soothing live music that adds warmth, beauty, and a memorable sense of occasion. In the context of weddings, it creates a beautiful, tranquil atmosphere perfect for guest arrivals, walking down the aisle, or drinks receptions.
To make the day truly personal, I offer a bespoke song request service. Couples can choose any Western song that is meaningful to them, and I will create a sitar and/or Indian vocal fusion arrangement exclusively for their wedding.
I will also be accompanied by a Tabla player for the traditional sitar pieces.
