Capricio, is an Italian term which means lively music. We started in the year 2016.

A group of  musicians with a passion for music led us together in this. We released our first online video in November 2016. 

We started with the intention of bringing Telugu music to the nightlife of Hyderabad. Like any start, we too had hurdles all along too. The city jammed to rappers, western and hip-hop  music and to bring in a smooth pitch of melodies into this arena was definitely challenging.  However, in the beginning, we started with the Bollywood mashups and started blending in our variations with them. At the beginning of our journey, we too faced a lot of hustle and  dissatisfaction from the audience as no one was prepared to taste this variation of music. There was an  initial stigma to bring in that change of interest. Not giving up, our willingness and passion for  regional music fuelled our energies to get going. Every event we performed was a learning  experience and we slowly transitioned into different restaurants. During mid-2017, Chitraastra was a  huge push for us. We could start making some noise and music lovers started watching us online.  

Our team of young musicians and rather passionate artists were introduced to the public stage at a  very early age and this has helped us adapt and change with the evolving trend. We were  keen on understanding the dynamics and dived into the fundamentals and brought in the magic with  a blend of regional music with various types of music the audience may love. Teja started his journey in  music at the age of 7 and he earned the Limca book record and also a record holder for playing 17  instruments in 53 minutes. While pursuing engineering, he also simultaneously organized numerous shows – this networking led him to associate with many like-minded people.  He met Kiran (lead Vocalist) at one such event in the year 2015.

Kiran had started his music journey at a very early age however stopped it at a certain age to pursue  his studies. During his B.Tech he resumed his music career and there was no turning back after that.  He was also the semi-finalist at the Padutha Theeyaga in the year 2016. Together they started playing  music for the public and delivered concerts. Wanting to dedicate full-time to music, Teja quit his job  at an MNC which was earning him a handsome pay package that was dominated by his interest  in music. The first video was released in the month of 2016 which was well applauded. Music bytes  also went viral on the internet which led people to start looking out for our performances on the stage.  

Eventually, the band had Joel on board and started to perform in better places like the stone waters,  BIET, and many others. Joel had a good skill for Bollywood tunes and the band wanted to bring Telugu music into the Hyderabad nightlife. Our first gig for Moonshine Project got us 7000 Indian rupees and after this, we got an invitation to perform live at the Tabula Rasa, a popular resto bar based in Hyderabad.  

Our journey included many talented artists coming in and going to be a part of our growth journey.  Irrespective of who constitutes ‘Capricio’ our common passion and love of music led us  to run towards becoming a favorite regional music band in the state. We started receiving  awards and accolades from renowned institutions and decorated people. Our dream is slowly  becoming a reality and that kept us busy with shows, schedules, and happiness.  

Artists are adding flavor to what Capricio is and our strengths lie in what we believe, what we dream, and what we pursue.
