Sid Sriram
He was born in Chennai and subsequently moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with his family. This duality of cultural roots has been integral in forming his personal and artistic identity. Sid comes from a long lineage of Carnatic (South Indian Classical) musicians with his mother starting a Carnatic vocal music school in Fremont, California in the early ‘90s. Having noticed his deeply intuitive inclination for music at a very early age, she started teaching him when he was three. He performed on stage for the first time later that year and fell in love with the stage instantly.
