KANAKAVALLI VIGNETTES - NIRANJANA RAMANAN GUEST CURATES

Niranjana Ramanan, Kanakavalli’s February Vignette, is a trained Carnatic musician, a playback singer and a member of Chennai’s much-loved band Staccato. Having inherited her love for music from her father when she was just a toddler, Niranjana went on to train in the Carnatic tradition for 14 years. An unexpected entry into a music-centric reality TV show opened up an entire world of musical possibilities for Niranjana, who discovered new genres, styles and songs. Soon after, she got her break as a playback singer in the film industry, and there was no looking back. She tells us about the highlights of her musical career, from going on tour with the maestro Ilayaraja to launching Project Delve, an initiative close to her heart that brings together the arts and artistes in unique ways.

Niranjana imbibed a love for saris from her grandmother, and browses through the Kanakavalli repertoire to curate a selection weaves that reflect her deep sense of tradition. Read the entire conversation on the blog, and shop Niranjana’s Vignettes curation right here…
