Sid Sriram is an urban/indie singer-songwriter from the Bay Area. A graduate of the Berklee College of Music, he has trained in classical Indian music from a young age. This background has allowed him to blend musical styles seamlessly. His music has been making waves on the social networks, but has also been receiving serious recognition from the mainstream music industry. Sid’s music has been featured in Billboard, MTV, Complex Magazine, 2DopeBoyz, The Smoking Section, The Source, HypeTrak, Earmilk and Fader. He has collaborated with the likes of the legendary A.R. Rahman and Himanshu Suri (Heems) of Das Racist whilst his music has been promoted by hip-hop tastemakers such as Karen Civil and Vashtie Kola. His music has a hallmark of genuineness that conveys emotion with every note. Influenced by Kanye West, Radiohead, Coldplay and Stevie Wonder, he skilfully brings together aspects of R&B, Hip Hop, Indie/Alternative rock, Indian and Electronic elements to create his original music. By making music that is simultaneously conscious of popular culture and emotions, Sid is able to draw in audiences across all demographics.
