Carnatic Music

I began my training in Carnatic Music (a form of South Indian Classical music) at the age of 3. I am currently under the tutelage of Kalaimamani, Sangita Kala Acharya Smt Geetha Raja under whom I have trained in the nuances of Smt T Brinda and the Dhanammal school of music. I have an extensive repertoire including 20+ Varnams, 100+ Keerthanams, 25+ Padams and Javalis. I hold multiple performances to my credit that include solo performances, duet performances with my sister Vibha Krishnakumar and accompanying dancers on the vocals apart from winning over 50 prizes in competitions conducted by Chennai's reputed sabhas. A list of my performances can be found here.

T Brinda Repertoire series - In an effort to document rare compositions passed down to my Guru Smt Geetha Raja from her Guru Smt T Brinda, I have been a part of several recordings that are part of this playlist.

Featured bu MadRasana in 2025 where we presented Kalyani Kaleidoscope, an excerpt from different compositions in raga Kalyani starting from a Varnam and ending in a Javali!

During the days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when we were all confined to the walls of our homes, my sister (Vibha) and I decided to join the new-found online space that had emerged for the performing arts. For each of the 9 days of Navaratri in 2020, we released a song showcasing our skills as a vocalist, violinist and dancer.
