Sid Sriram Bridges Innovation And Indian Classical Music On ‘Sidharth’

Sid Sriram transcends geographical boundaries and delves into his transnational identity on his debut English album ‘Sidharth.’ The Carnatic musician, playback singer, songwriter and producer sat down with Vocalo host Bekoe before his Chicago performance on March 4 at Lincoln Hall to talk about the South Indian cultural influence on his music and the album. ‘Sidharth’ is Sriram’s first all-English release, a moody blend of R&B and pop with strong elements of Carnatic music, the South Indian sub-genre on which he was trained.

This interview was produced and edited by Bekoe. Keep up with Sid Sriram on Instagram @sidsriram.
