Varijashree Venugopal

Started very young - I was recognizing complex musical patterns at 18 months and performing concerts by age four.

Music runs in family - My father, a Carnatic flautist, taught me music and instilled deep love for Kannada culture.

Bridge between cultures - I believe music can connect people across boundaries, which drives my fusion approach.

Cultural roots matter - My deep connection with Kannada music and Indian classical traditions shapes everything I create.

What I do? - I perform live concerts, produce albums, conduct music workshops, and create original fusion compositions.

How I'm different? - I blend Indian classical with global genres, bringing together traditional ragas and contemporary sounds.

Working style - I collaborate closely with artists worldwide, from Grammy winners to local folk musicians.

Recognition speaks - My album "Vari" earned five stars from Songlines Magazine, with Grammy nomination for collaborative work.
