A world percussionist with dynamic showmanship who can create music from anything; surrounds his massive kit with an array of instruments from world over
Schooled in both Indian Classical and Jazz, Siva is truly a world percussionist, surrounding his kit with an array of instruments from around the world. Having played world over with Zakir Hussain, Billy Cobham, A.R. Rahman, Louiz Banks, Shankar Mahadevan, etc., what makes him unique is not only his constant search for new sounds and rhythms, but also his incredible showmanship. Siva’s solo concerts are an audio-visual delight, aptly describing him as the ‘magician’ on percussions! He is the only Indian musician to endorse five of the biggest international brands in the LIVE music industry, including Zildjian, Remo, AKG, Pearl, and Roland. He has been conferred upon with the title of ‘Kalaimamani’ by the Tamil Nadu Govt., which is the highest state honor in the field of arts.
