About the Master

Trained and steeped in the Carnatic classical tradition, Chandana brings a unique sensibility to the music she creates and performs. 

She has trained under stalwarts in the Carnatic tradition, (R.K Srikanthan and H.S Sudhindra), Chandana is also an A grade artist with The All India Radio. 

Many have called her a vocal gymnast, owing to her incredible ability to traverse scales and move between genres as diverse as Carnatic, Hindustani, Sufi and Jazz. 

She has taken the Carnatic idiom and given it newer expressions in her experiments with different musical styles. 

Chandana is among the few Indian artists to re-interpret classic Jazz through Carnatic vocals. 

Her interpretation of the cover of “Take Five” is trending at 2 million plus views on Facebook.
