Looking to Give a Home/House Concert in LA Area

Post by TheRaghuKumar »

Hi folks,

I am Raghu Kumar :) I reside in Burbank, CA

I run a nonprofit YouTube channel called MyCarnatic, check it out! It has just around 10k subscribers :)

https://www.youtube.com/user/MyCarnatic1

I've learned from many gurus including the late PSN, Padma Kutty, and Salem Sriram, but have only given 2-3 small concerts in my life :)

I have been practicing quite a bit the past couple years and feel like I'm ready to give a small concert, here is a clip of me singing Krishna Nee Begane recorded today!

And of me singing Janaki Pathe in Kharaharapriya,

I'm looking for an avenue to sing a small house concert with a violinist and mridangist in the LA area! Any leads would be welcome, I'm not very well acquainted with the "performing" community :D

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Raghu

PS. If you have used the stock brokerage Upstox in India, I am its Founder, and now I run a company called RAIN (www.rainfund.ai), this is not for self-promotion but just a general FYI!!!

One of a kind of post . While I may be of no help to get you a home /house concert . I was thinking since you are a founder of Rainfund.ai , one of the days just put an amrithavarshini sung by you in rainfund.ai in a link and see how it goes. Best wishes for you to join in the league of LA Lakers team of Sandeep Narayan- Ramakrishnamurthy- AdityaPrakash -TheRaghuKumar. Looks you have had 3 great gurus with the pillar Shri PSN guiding you. One of your gurus Salem Shriram is a brilliant braindrained singer , Many years back he sang a fanta fabulous Gowrimanohari RTP in mylapore ragasudha that is still etched in my mind. But that RTP can wait may be start with 2 amruthavarshini one a flagship AnandAmruthaVarshini in Rainfund.AI and another very rare EnMugham Paaraiyya ShanmughanE in Rainfund.ai

Please call Malibu Hindu temple and the local Priests to arrange your concert at marriages. Please don't demand any money in the beginning. When it is free, even in America Indians would like it. It will trickle first and flow later. You need to be broken like a new shoe (not as an insult but like in real life).
