Samyukta is an awarding-winning singer of Indian Classical music. She began her training at age 8 and had begun singing in the South Indian music circuit by age 13. Just a few years later she was invited to perform solo concerts at a number of historic venues across the region. Since then, her experience as a classical Indian singer has been bolstered by an active performance career that included several cities in South Africa and the United States.

While she was a graduate student at Columbia University, Samyukta had the chance to collaborate with and learn from some of the amazing talent the New York City has to offer. She has found herself thriving in this nexus of different musical styles, ranging from classical South Indian to out-and-out rock. Staying true to her roots, she spends the Carnatic music season performing back in India.

Samyukta is collaborating with the best musicians from around the world on her solo album “The Wandering Poet”. The project takes traditional Indian music pieces to arrangements in several genres including Latin, jazz, electronica, hip-hop and pop.

Samyukta has headed up Indian Classical orchestras and has served as musical directors for stage and film productions in the genre.

She continues to enjoy an active performance and teaching career in New York City.
