Our guest today is BindhuMalini Narayanaswamy. She is a National & Filmfare award-winning Indian singer, composer, musician, music director, actor, and graphic designer. Bindhu is one of the few rare artists to have pursued training in both Carnatic and Hindustani classical forms and yet has constantly strived to explore avenues outside of her strict classical roots to other forms and traditions in search of the soul-stirring power that music has. This has given form to a more easy yet confident personal style for her as a performer. She is known for her soulful voice and her deeply spiritual renditions of the poetry and songs of the mystic saints and poets belonging to different eras and parts of the subcontinent. Bindhu holds a bachelor’s degree in History of Fine Arts, Drawing and Painting, A second bachelor’s degree in Carnatic Music from the Madras University. Gold Medalist, Master’s in Visual Communication, Loyola, Post Graduation in Graphic design at the National Institute of Design (NID) Born in Chennai, she currently lives in Bengaluru with her husband Vasu Dixit, lead singer and songwriter of the folk-rock fusion band Swarathma.
