My Story
Hi, I'm Aiswarya Vaikunth — a violinist from Chennai passionate about blending the rich tradition
of Carnatic classical music with contemporary sounds. I've been fortunate to train under the legendary
Kalaimamani Shri Embar S. Kannan, and under his guidance, I've grown into one of India’s young and
emerging multi-genre violinists.
At just 16, I’ve had the opportunity to perform at over 50 major events, including prestigious
weddings, college festivals, corporate galas, and even film recording sessions. One of my proudest
achievements so far has been releasing the first-ever instrumental version of the Andal Thiruppavai in
a non-lyrical format — a project that received appreciation from both musical legends and spiritual
leaders.
"This journey has just begun, and I'm excited to keep exploring, experimenting, and sharing my
music with the world."

Vision
I'm currently leading a project close to my heart "Global Fusion on Violin" a musical journey where I
bring together the timeless grace of Carnatic ragas with the soul of world music traditions. It's my
way of exploring how diverse cultures can speak through a single instrument, creating something truly
unique and universal.
Imagine Carnatic Ragas interwoven with:
- 🎻 Flamenco’s fiery rhythms
- 🎻 Irish reels
- 🎻 Middle Eastern maqams
- 🎻 Jazz Rhapsody
- 🎻 African Kora melodies
- 🎻 Electronic music experimentation
My mission is to craft truly boundary-defying performances that unite audiences through the universal
language of melody.
