About

Gayathri Krishnan is a versatile singer-songwriter & producer hailing from Los Angeles, California who seamlessly merges her traditional roots with contemporary flair. Drawing from her upbringing in Carnatic music - the classical South Indian music system - and her exploration of modern R&B influences, Gayathri’s sound defines what it means to be innovative and honest to one’s self. 

The tangible connection listeners find in her introspective songwriting and lush harmonies was evident in her debut EP "Create to Express (2020)," which amassed six million cumulative streams solely as an independent release. With her music gaining traction on Spotify Editorial Playlists like "Fresh Finds R&B," "Affirmations," and "Supermoon," there is no question that her sound is on the pulse. On-stage, Gayathri leaves an indelible impression rich in soul, melodic vocals, spirited energy, and fusion in elements of Bharatanatyam - a classical style of Indian dance. Her performances at the Sol & Sound Sound Healing Festival in Los Angeles, California alongside Iniko (October 2022), Londrelle's sold-out show "Live & Unplugged"  (August 2023), and most recently as an opener for Khanvict & Raaginder's Arrival Tour at the Lodge Room in Los Angeles (November 2023) showed audiences no less, pushing the envelope of what it means to grace people with authenticity. 

Gayathri's narrative as an artist continues to incite curiosity, highlighted by her interview with fellow South Asian artist Pritt for the BBC Asian Network radio station, as well as her coverage in esteemed publications such as Mixed Mag, Voyage LA, LDL Magazine, Periphery Magazine, and Berkeley B-Side. At the heart of every word, phrase, melody, and rhythm spoken is Gayathri Krishnan. One-of-one.
