About Hrishi
hrishi is a composer, vocalist, and storyteller whose work bridges the ancient and the contemporary. Rooted in the rich tradition of Carnatic music and shaped by the global language of R&B and pop, his songs weave lineage into modern sound. A trailblazer within the South Asian diaspora, hrishi’s work has resonated with millions—earning him a devoted following of over 400,000 listeners, and drawing recognition from artists like John Legend, Camila Cabello, Martin Garrix, and SZA
His new album "Kamakshi" is a groundbreaking album that reimagines the essence of South Indian classical music, blending it with ambient, immersive soundscapes. A musical journey told across four Indian languages and eight ragas, it spans a millennia of tradition. Through the visionary work of Hrishi and Raga Prana, Kamakshi introduces the ancient art of sound healing, the divine raga devathas, and the cosmic presence of Devi—the Divine Feminine—to a new generation of listeners.
He also recently launched his music academy, Make Indian Music, an immersive online community bringing people across the world into the world of Carnatic music. With 8+ hours of detailed video courses, weekly workshops/group calls, and an active online community, the platform is a complete framework for learning one of the most beautiful music systems in the world.
"Hrishi is an artist you want to put on your radar. Reminding us to embrace and celebrate our differences, Hrishi sings and dances his way through life with love, talent, and purpose."
