As the second weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California approaches, excitement is building for yet another stunning performance by singer-songwriter Sid Sriram. After his sensational debut at the festival last weekend, the soul-stirring vocalist is poised to take the stage once more on April 19.

Sid Sriram's debut performance on April 12 at Coachella marks a significant milestone in his career. With a captivating fusion of Western and Carnatic music, the artist mesmerized the audience with his soulful vocals and commanding stage presence, earning him recognition as one of the standout performers of the festival's opening weekend.

During his performance last weekend, the trailblazer showcased tracks such as 'Do The Dance' and 'Dear Sahana' from his recent English album "Sidharth", leaving the audience spellbound and yearning for more. The soulful crooner garnered thunderous applause and enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.

As fans eagerly await Sid Sriram's return to the Coachella stage, he continues to receive international acclaim for his groundbreaking music in "Sidharth", a unique blend of Carnatic music, R&B, and soul. Presently on his "Sidharth" World Tour, which kicked off on March 2 in Minneapolis, the mesmerizing performer has toured across North America, the UK, and Europe, delivering performances of tracks from the album released in August 2023. His tour is scheduled to reach Australia next month.

Born in Chennai and raised in California, Sid Sriram was deeply immersed in South Indian Carnatic music from the tender age of three under his mother's guidance. Growing up in Fremont's Bay Area exposed him to jazz, R&B, and indie rock influences. He honed his musical skills at Berklee College of Music. Sid Sriram gained recognition with a viral cover of Frank Ocean's "We All Try" on YouTube.

His talent later caught the attention of composer AR Rahman, leading to his debut in the Tamil film industry in 2013 with the song 'Adiye' from the movie "Kadal". The track resonated with audiences, paving the way for Sid Sriram to feature on numerous soundtracks across Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi films. Today, Sid Sriram's musical journey transcends geographical boundaries and musical genres with the release of his 13-song album "Sidharth".
