Shankar Ramani
(Vocal - Carnatic)
A vocalist and exponent of the Indian Classical (Carnatic) style of music. Born in Chennai, India, moved to the United States in 2004 to pursue a career as a Director in a renowned IT company, currently reside in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania My journey in music began at the age of five. I understood, even at this young age, the intense power and emotional resonance of music, and the joy and fulfillment of communicating and connecting with other human beings through music. I performed my first concert in Chennai in 1995, and have since performed concerts all across the globe. My vocal style is undiluted classicism, true to the authentic South Indian Classical (Carnatic) musical tradition. At the core of my renderings is Bhakti (devotion), a deep, innate sense of spirituality, from the first note to the last. I enjoy the challenge of effortlessly rendering complex music. My presentation style is not sensational. It does not seek to grab the listener's attention through gimmicks, or through dramatic facial expressions and gestures. I learned the Carnatic Style of music under Shri O.S. Thiyagarajan, one of the top-ranked musicians on the professional Carnatic music circuit today. I am honored to have been acknowledged by Shri OST as his leading disciple.
