èßäAV

Arvind is the founder and lead of Tvameva. Trained in Carnatic (South Indian Classical) music, Arvind started his learning in Chennai, India., where he grew up in a musically gifted family. Music permeated his daily life while growing up. His parents are learned music connoisseurs and his extended family often helped fill gatherings with melodious ragas. For almost a decade, Arvind trained with his brothers Arun and Arjun under the guidance of two gurus, the late Sri Gopalakrishna Sarma and Sri Ranganathan Sarma. He believes that music is divine, universal, and simplistic. And much like his transcontinental life across America and India, the fusion of musical genres is a symbol of our shared worlds. With sound roots in music theory, he continues to look for inspiration through vocal improvisations, instruments, electronic mediums, and hybrid sounds. He is also a founding member of The Sanctuaries - an arts collective that works on social change through arts, spirituality, and diversity. Arvind has featured at a variety of venues and events in the US and in India - including the Millennium Stage at Kennedy Center in 2018, and Washington Cherry Blossoms Festival in 2017.
