A devoted practitioner of Carnatic music, Sairanjani has dedicated her life to preserving and propagating this sacred art form far from the shores of India.

Her musical journey is rooted in the blessings of her Guru, the late Kalaimamani Smt. Sulochana Pattabhiraman — an eminent Carnatic vocalist and musicologist whose depth of understanding shaped generations of musicians across India.

She also had the rare blessing of learning Varnams and Thillanas from the legendary late Sri Lalgudi Jayaraman, whose signature Lalgudi Bani brought lyrical phrasing, emotive depth and structural clarity to the violin. To have learned from such a master is a blessing she carries humbly into every lesson.

Swethaa Sundar is a trained Carnatic vocalist with over 15 years of experience in the art form. She has trained under renowned gurus Smt. Vijayalakshmi, Smt. Bharath Mahadevan, and Smt. Sairanjani Sivaramakrishnan, developing a strong foundation in traditional Carnatic music technique and repertoire.

Swethaa Sundar is now joining hands with Smt. Sairanjani Sivaramakrishnan at Sayeesham — Home of Indian Music & Arts to teach Carnatic music to kids and beginners, offering a nurturing and joyful introduction to this classical art form.

I'm a music enthusiast whose journey began with learning Carnatic vocal music. Along the way I taught myself Western percussion and rhythm, which grew into a deep curiosity about sound itself: how it's captured, shaped and felt by the listener.

Today I work independently as a music producer, rhythm programmer and sound engineer. I learned sound mixing and mastering on my own, and I handle live sound for concerts while producing my own music at MRVK Studios, my home studio near Munich. As a techie at heart, I also enjoy building technology solutions for music, bringing modern tools and tradition together.

For me, Nama Sankirtana is where all of this finds its truest purpose. My wish is that every voice, every beat and every name of the Divine reaches each listener with clarity and warmth, so that the sound disappears and only the bhakti remains.
